In my opinion, it is one of the greatest songs ever written!!
Even though this interview was 2 years ago, I am listening to it for the first time 2 years later 3 days before Christmas. On my phone I have saved all the Christmas Gaither specials and a couple of Buddy Green playing the harmonica superbly. Listening to Mark singing "Mary did you know?"
Get started saying this was a very enjoyable interview of three men talking about a wonderful song and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I still can't wait until we're raptured up and we can all be together forever with the Lord. Praise God!!!
I do agree wholeheartedly that if this song can touch our family members hearts who are unsaved and friends and neighbors, then Hallelujah!
What is so powerful is that you can see the hand of God directing brother Mark when he was in his early twenties to write these words down and then at a later date meeting up with Buddy Green and asking him if he could put music to it. And then how many years later doing this interview and talking about how many singers, and some unsaved are singing it and getting it out into the world! That is the power in hand of God Almighty ❣️👑✝️
The best singer of "Mary do you know?" is Mark Lowrry
The Isaacs (Sonia Isaac) do the 2nd best version of this song. But I do love Mark’s version best. I also have heard Buddy Greene sing the song and it was very good. Both of these can be found on TH-cam.
Dolly had a great one too. She added little bit of something to it.
I agree
My favorite version of “Mary did you know “ is Gaither vocal band Mark Lowry, Guy Pernod, and David Phelps 🙏🏻
I love to hear men talking about how awesome God is ! And care about God, and lived to know God and His ways ! :)
That was a wonderful discussion. I love Mark and Buddy; they are each so very talented!! I think they are inspirational in the ways each of them deliver the word of God to an audience. I love Mark’s voice and his comedy and I love Buddy’s voice, when he gets the chance to sing, and his harmonica and guitar playing. “Mary Did You Know” is the perfect blending of lyrics and melody!! It is such a beautiful and simple example of using music to tell the story of Jesus Christ. I love this song! Thank you both for combining your writing and musical talents to come up with this musical, gospel masterpiece! You both are angels delivering God’s word. God Bless You!!
❤❤😇😇🎶🎼🎤🎸❤❤
My favorite version is Mark with David Phelps and Guy Penrod. Any version that Mark does is a favorite because he gives it the best emotion. Editing because I just downloaded Mark’s and Buddy’s version on iTunes and listened. It is now my favorite!
Love MARY DID YOU KNOW? & hearing from the writers. Wonderful segment, Andy.
So true, Buddy. It is all about Him!! I love the song.❤️
Mark Lowry is the best singing " Mary did you know " !!!
A few days ago I heard Buddy with his harmonica and Mark singing this together and I thought it was one of the best. First time to hear them together.
My favorite version is the one where Mark sings with the Gaither Vocal Band. That part where Mark and Guy and David have that amazing harmony always takes my breath away!
My fave, too! :)
and anthony burger on the keys
I was going to say the same thing. Also the look on David Phelp's face at one time was so touching and tender when Mark was singing.
T’was the night before Christmas was a poem put on the shelf.
I was just thinking that Mark should do a show with Buddy and discuss their song. Great idea, Andy.
It gives me chills all over every time I listen to it. And many times the tears are flowing. At the end of the song I experience a wonderful feeiing, a sensational feeling. Similar to when you're being tucked into bed by your mother or father. Thank you for writing the song and thank you for the heartfelt music. 🎶 ❤
VOCTAVE w/ Mark Lowry is my favorite version!
I love the arrangement with Voctave and Mark singing it.
The best ever!
I totally agree with you. Voctave's arrangement was the perfect backdrop to Mark's solo.
So true, Andy. Great things have not been published. Wow, 51 times! Amazing!!
Enjoyed this show and the way you all talked about Baby Jesus. Yes, "Mary did you know" is a very special and beautiful song.
Wow!! Just heard Voctave with Mark Lowry!! Wonderful!!
Such a special song. I am truly grateful for the honor to have shared the stage to perform this piece with both Mark and Buddy on separate occasions. I remember Mark having a bit of a cold that night and asked if I could take the lead and was surprised when our group Valiant did a high vocal arrangement. And with Buddy I was only a teen and my dad had brought he and his wife Vicky to spend a week with us at a summer camp in Canada. So humble the both of them... the real deal behind closed doors.
Loved this episode sooo much!! Thank you Mark and Buddy for the best song of my lifetime! Mark....still performs it best!!
Andy, thank you for having Mark and Buddy on the show. This beautiful carol is one of my favorites! It makes me feel so close to this beautiful holiday. Merry Christmas to you, Polly and the boys!
was blessed to have met both these gentlemen and so thank them for this song
Thank you Andy for having Mark and Buddy to share about that wonderful song "Mary Did You Know"
Jesus is the subject that always comes up in our daily conversation. It only takes a short time before we remember something that Jesus ❤ did for us. He fills every waking moment ⏰ for me. I was 14 when I was a saved. I really cannot remember what life was like without Him. I just know I have always had all of Him that I desired. The thing that is so different now, at 78, is that He gets more of me. How can you not talk about that?
It is wonderful to hear how this marvellous song came together , it is such a treasure thank you
I agree with Mark re Jordan Smith's The Voice performance which was the first time I had ever heard it and it completely slayed me because it flips the entire story by asking Mary all these questions before any of it every happened, instead of preaching it after the fact. So much emotion rose up in me and I cried all the way through it. So brilliant Mark.
Love this! Thank you. It's a nice break from the world and all the stuff... Thank you for the beautiful song. Thank you Jesus. All good comes from you.
My favorite version is Mark's on his Mark Lowry on Broadway dvd. 🥰🥰🥰
Absolute favorite Christmas song yet Mark and Buddy!! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Two of my favorite people! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thankyou so much for this “chat” with Mark and Buddy. A wonderful song and powerful presentation of the Gospel. What is most stirring is their great love for Jesus our Savior, Lord and soon coming King. Mark’s comment re “in that 8 lb bundle was the fullness of the GODHEAD” really blessed me. God bless you all in His service... May 2021 far supersede 2020 in proclaiming the Name above all names to a world in the grip of fear and hopelessness the likes of which this current generation has never seen. God bless!
I would like to thank you both for writing the song. If it is sung right, I feel chills from the Holy Spirit speaking through the music and the lyrics! Thank you again.
Preach it Mark!!!✅✅✅
You guys Re the best. Love you dearly 💛💓
Love this conversation.
I heard David Phelps sing it at First Baptist Dallas this weekend. Thank you for listening to Gods’s voice
Mary was chosen by God to carry and raise our Savior. You three guys were chosen by God to take the message to the world. The baby grew up into the King of all kings, our Savior and God. Thank God for messengers and music, for priests and prophets, for ordinary children of God, and for children to whom the Kingdom of God belongs.
Christmas does not start for me until I hear Mary did you know. thankyou so much Mark and Buddy and Andy
Our church did the song on Christmas Eve. I thought, “Mark and Buddy just got another Quarter.” 😆
Mark and Buddy are the Best and truly blessed. Love their song Mary Did You Know. ❤❤
I love this so much........I love Jesus. Thank you Mark & Buddy for such a beautiful song.
Enjoyed this “threesome” about true belief, love for the Lord, born in a stable, to save us sinners. Merry christmas to everybody from Holland.
Wonderful! Thank you!
Love this song!
Thank you, Andy, for another great video. Kenny's version of "Mary Did You Know?" was my first exposure to this iconic song, and I had no idea how long it's been around. It reminds me of the power of The Butterfly Effect in that Buddy & Mark's little song has multiplied for many years worldwide because of all the different artists who've done their version.
Blessings to you, Polly, Austin, Adam, and the rest of your family for a great Christmas!
Great interview.
Marie did you know is one of the most beautiful worship songs.
Such an honor to experience this amazing interview. This should be a historic account of such an awesome gift of song. Thank you, Andy and all your staff and thank you Buddy Greene and Mark for pointing glory to our wonderful Savior, Yashua ha Machiech. And, although, our Anointed One was not really born at this time of year, perhaps many will come to know our true and forever Messiah.
I was at a Gaither Homecoming concert in Lakeland, Fl and Mark did this song and David Phelps and Guy Penrod did the backup. That is my favorite version.
my fav version is still Buddy and Michael,
Love this so much 💞
amen about Minor keys love them to pieces
I love the one with Mark and Buddy.
I dont know when I've had tears come so many th I'll mess watching a video! Ju ssd t hear iij ng the story of how it came to be, the testimonies, the love of Jesus just oozing out of all 3 of you! I love the Mark and Buddy version best. Its simply telling the story.
Fantastic show!!
wish Mark and Buddy would have sang it - nice show thanks!
Voctave's version with Mark Lowry is by far the best
Mark needs to give himself more credit for writing the lyrics to Mary did you know. He has told the story too often about his parents putting him to bed and telling him God was going to use him. You’re right too Andy about books, songs, poems etc that have been turned down so people gave up too quickly. I enjoyed this interview, getting Buddy’s voice on it. Mark and Buddy wrote an amazing song and Mark singing it allowed the audience to feel the song when he sung it. Remember Mark, even Jesus had critics.
Mark made the right choice to choose buddy's version.
Amen and Amen! Great great interview about my favorite song at any time of the year, CAUSE IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS!! May God bless you exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think. HALLELUJAH!! (wish I could play harp like Bro. Buddy)
I have to sing this tomorrow it will help to hear this
This was an awesome chat! I missed the live, but enjoyed the replay❤️
Seven years...completion. ; )
I really enjoyed listening to this! Totally cool 😎
I love Pentatonix best and Mark with the Gaithersburg group
Gaither
Such interesting perspectives! I've always want to make prolific artistic masterpieces but this new perspective of one masterpiece going to far is truly amazing
Incredible song and love the interview!
Listening from Texas...I sang this in my Christmas program at Church but was not nearly as great as you do it...but the words are so beautiful...
He had it 7 years!!!!! So interesting
You are right about the Dolly version. It gives me chills.
We nurses call motorcycle riders organ donors. Glad you sold em!
Thank you so much for this interview!!! I have been privileged to put movement to this song for many years. I have loved Kathy Mattea's version. My son-in-law video taped this in 2012
at my church. I have continued to do this every year. My dance version is on TH-cam under my name Cheryl Yarusso.
I pray you are blessed by the visual version.
Funny I wrote this then Andy said the same thing after I posted !!
Kathy Matea does an amazing cover of this song. Buddy and Mark had a silent co author in the form of the Holy Spirit when their talents combined to write this song.
I'm seeing this a year later. I have another favorite delivery of this beautiful song... Mat and Savanna Shaw !! Check them out !!
My favorite version is Mark, Guy and David. I like Dolly Partons version too.
I highly recommend you watch Dallas Jenkins’ short film “The Shepherd” to see the birth story from the perspective of the shepherds. Just go to The Chosen on TH-cam and look for “The Shepherd” and then if you haven’t yet watch season 1 of The Chosen.
Mark mentioned there is a mistake in the song. What is it?
Great video, and great song...love it! One error from Buddy; he said the Godhead cannot be understood? Romans 1:20 says it is clearly seen and understood. Colossians 2:9...fulness of Godhead dwells in Jesus. John 14:9; when you see Jesus you see the Father!
I love "Mary Did You Know" sung by Mark Lowry. He puts more emotion into this song then anyone else I've ever heard. As far as a group goes, I'd have to say Mark singing lead and David Phelps, Guy Pen rod and Bill Gather. No one can do harmony on that song than those four!! Just my opinion.
Most of the memorable song/hymns are written in a minor key. "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence", "Gabriel's Message", "What Child is This"...all great hymns. But none are as moving as "Mary Did You Know".
Dylan Scott has a great version.
Thanks Andy and guys! This song is marvelous! I'm brazilian and I got to know the song from a Portuguese version and I really fell in love with the depth, really rich in theology. This is the version in portuguese:

No on sings Mary Did You Know better than Mark
Marks is the best version
I feel Mark sings it best & with feeling
Home free has a good version
