A popular American Christian Christmas song, “Mary Did you Know” was originally performed by Mark Lowry in 1991 however has since been covered by Kenny Rogers & Wynonna Judd, Clay Aiken, Cee Lo Green, Pentatonix, Jordan Smith and others.
As there are so many different versions and covers, please forgive me if the notes here vary slightly from the one you know. I used Mark Lowry’s as a basis as it was the original 🙂
