Mary did you know?

Anyone else love this song? It brings tears to my eyes. I just love it.

I'm not really religious and I don't usually like country music but Kathy Mateo (sp?)'s version is so beautiful. It's one of my favorite Christmas songs!

 

[orvilleair]

Is this sung by Kenny Rogers? Yeah, I remember that. It's a pretty good song. Radio station around here will start playing Christmas music this weekend, so I'm sure that song will be in the rotation.

 

[LadyAurora]

I haven't heard the Kenny Rogers version, only Kathy MAttea, but I really like it.

 

[cati]

I love that song. After watching The Passion of Christ this songs touches my heart even more.

 

[gshoemate]

Reba McEntire also does a great version of it. It was on her Christmas albums a few years back.

 

[MagicalMom]

Gosh, I was goning to go out & buy it tomorrrow & now I don't know which version to get. Mark lowry has one too. Decision, decisions.

 

[jimmiej]

Great song!

 

[Aimeedyan]

I think everyone has done a version of it, LOL. My fave is Michael English =)

 

[BrinxFam]

My SIL sings it and she does a wonderful job.

 

[CookieGVB]

It's also on Clay's new Christmas album - I don't remember hearing it before, but WOW - fabulous song.

 

[MagicalMom]

Well, I've been up listening to portions of each version & I've decided on...........................kenny Rogers..........b/c I sounded the best when I was singing along with him. LOL

 

[Liz]

Its on Donny Osmond's "Christmas at Home" cd too. That one is my favorite!

 

[PKK/MJK]

Here's another vote for Clay Aiken's version on his new CD Merry Christmas With Love. I'd never heard this song before but really fell in love with it!!

"Mark lowry has one too."

If I'm not mistaken, he wrote it...

And................. He's a COMEDIAN!!

But also a wonderful, strong Christian man


This line always gets me:

"When you kissed your little baby,
............... You kissed the face of God... "

*sniff*

 

[capthooksmom]

Yes, I love it. Along with O Holy Night. Both are such beautiful songs.

 

[poohandwendy]

Just wondering how many people named Mary opened this thread looking for enlightenment...LOL

 

[WDWFOREVER]

I LOVE this song. Our choir usually sings it during the Christmas season; this year we're singing it the first Sunday in Advent.

I found a link to the Kenny Rogers version... Wynonna sings on it, too.

Same here! I love it. But given some of the names mentioned as previous singers, I think I know why Listened to it several times a couple days ago.
