High School students sing to keep calm during storm warning
BREMEN, Ga. - Chorus students from Bremen High School took comfort in each other by humming and singing during a tornado warning at their High School on Wednesday.
Jessica Labbe, a teacher at Bremen High School, recorded the high school students singing in the hallway during the storm warning. “We were in the hallway for about 40 minutes, when a few students started to hum a few notes,” Jamie Lipscomb, Chorus teacher, told FOX 5 Atlanta.
The students started to sing “Mary Did You Know” to comfort the special needs students in their class.
“A few students were upset and scared and had been in that position for so long. . .the students started to sing out of fear,” said Lipscomb.
The students are scheduled to have a meet and greet with the songs co-writer, Mark Lowry. Lowry is expected to make an appearance at Mill Town Music Hall next week.
“The students were rehearsing Mark Lowry’s song before the storm warning went into effect. It was nice to have my students continue their rehearsal during a stressful time,” said Lipscomb.
"Who is afraid during a tornado watch/warning at BHS...not me because I'm reassured and reminded today that Mary's baby boy has got this!" was posted on Labbe's Facebook page.
Lyrics:
Mary did you know that your baby boy will some day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you.
Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when your kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God.
Oh Mary did you know
The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb
Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am
