Dec 16, 2025 | The Professional Noticer

This week, Andy hosts Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene—writers of the countlessly recorded (literally…we can’t even find how many times it’s been covered) Christmas classic Mary Did You Know?

What you’ll hear:

  • Buddy and Mark’s favorite versions of the song
  • Their childhood Christmas memories
  • What makes the song so relatable
  • Mark’s hilarious encounter with a group unhappy with how he explained the song

Tune in to hear Mark talk about writing the lyrics for the song and how Buddy put the music together years later. You might be surprised to hear there was once a different melody!
