What’s the story behind the song Mary Did You Know? We all love to hear it at Christmas. ‘Mary Did You Know’: Who wrote it and why? The moving song is a powerful example of how music can speak to deep spiritual truths.

The words to “Mary Did You Know?” were written by Mark Lowry. They came from an idea he had while working on a project for a Christian University in Virginia. Mark Lowry can be a preacher or a comedian. He used to be in the Gaither Vocal Band.

The song makes people think about how much Mary knew as Jesus’ mother, just like Mark read a lot of the Gospels and thought about what Mary might have thought. The questions that came to his mind were deep reflections on parenting and being the mother of our Lord. These thoughts are beautifully woven into the song’s words, which also ask if Mary knew the amazing fate of her newborn son.

Why did Mark Lowry write the song “Mary Did You Know? Mark said this about writing the song’s lyrics: “As my mind went back to the scene in the manger, I began to think about the power, authority, and majesty she held in her arms.” The little lips were the same ones that had spoken the worlds into being.

All of those things were in the little baby lying still on her chest. He was still the one who had given birth to his mother, Mary. What a magnificent view of Mary we get in this song! WATCH: The Story Behind ‘Mary Did You Know?’ with Mark Lowry
