This week we will turn to the songs that actually draw our attention to the message of Christmas. I'd like to start with one of the most moving songs that turn our hearts toward Mary and her part in the Christmas story. Asking the questions that many of us would like to have answered by the chosen Virgin who carried the Savior of all the world. I thought it might be fitting to use this version presented by the writers - words by Mark Lowry, music Buddy Greene:

When some songs get mainstream exposure, they get snatched up and re-recorded by everyone and their dog. Today's song is one of those. It's been reinterpreted by artists as wideflung (sure it's a word, and if it's not it ought to be) as Kenny Rogers, Donny Osmond, and Kutless. But I believe that it is best handled by the writers. So here (ignore Bill Gaither if you can) are Mark Lowry (words) and Buddy Greene (music) singing "Mary Did You Know?"
