Singer-songwriter Mark Lowery devoted almost seven years to refining the lyrics of ‘Mary, Did You Know?’ The genesis of the song occurred while he was crafting a Christmas program for Jerry Falwell in 1984. Contemplating what he would ask Mary if she were present, Mark formulated the questions that eventually evolved into the song’s poignant lyrics.
In 1991, with the lyrics finalized, Mark enlisted the help of his friend and fellow musician, Buddy Greene, to compose the music complementing his words. Remarkably, it took only 30 minutes for Buddy to create the now-iconic music for ‘Mary, Did You Know?’
