Christmas Music of the Day #3
Mary, Did You Know?
I love this song no matter who sings it. I have followed the author of it for years, and listen to his daily Facebook check-ins.
He has suffered with hyperactivity and ADD for most of his life, which ended up with him being the class clown.
From Wikipedia, we read the following: "In 1984, Lowry wrote the lyrics to the song "Mary, Did You Know?", when asked to write a script for a church Christmas play. He wrote a series of questions that he would like to ask Mary, the mother of Jesus. These questions were used in between the scenes of the play. Over the next decade, Lowry tried to find music that would complete the song. Eventually, musician and songwriter Buddy Greene wrote the music to the song. The Christmas play script then became the song."
This particular version is done by Pentatonix.
