Mary Did You Know? With Buddy Greene and Mark Lowry

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?

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!

You’ll also hear Buddy and Mark talk about their favorite versions of the song, childhood Christmas memories, why the song is so relatable—plus Mark’s hilarious encounter with a group of people that weren’t too happy with how he explained the song.
