Mary, Did You Know? with lyrics by Mark Lowry and music by Buddy Greene was first released in 1991 on a self-titled debut album by Michael English. It has since been recorded by Kenny Rogers and Wynonna Judd in 1996 and Clay Aiken in 2004, two of my favorite versions.
But the best version, in my opinion, is by the a cappella group, Pentatonix, which was released in 2014. Mary, Did You Know? expresses the true meaning of the season; and I hope you enjoy it. It gives me goosebumps.

@LindaOHio - Listening to the song I became very sad and this is not how someone should feel the day of Christmas.

Our vocal ensemble sang that Sunday morning. We always do it every year.

I have heard it. I think I am just not in the Christmas spirit this year because I don't really care for any Christmas music. Didn't even play a Christmas playlist while we put up the tree.

With hubby gone I'm handling Christmas better than I thought I would. I miss him terribly; but I'm not too sad.

@LindaOHio That is understandable, but glad you are handling it better than you thought you would.

I like the upbeat songs too; but this is so apropos for the season.

Yes, Pentatonix do great versions of Christmas music. I've listened to a few. Love their version of the song "Hallelujah." Another goose bump song...
