After going off to college to obtain a business degree, Mark Lowry was completely sidetracked when he felt a strong calling by God. Instead of obtaining a business degree, Mark did a U-Turn and walked out with a Youth degree and was on his way to a music ministry.
It was while he was singing at churches that he began to talk to his audience between songs. He talked about his life and shared his testimony and they responded with laughter.
Since that time Mark has performed before hundreds of thousands with his singing/comedy act. A true entertainer, he has released numerous cd's and videos and as of late he has gone into event planning.
In 1984 something happened that would establish him as a songwriter. His church asked him to write a Christmas play. He responded by writing down questions that he would like to ask Mary, Jesus' mother. He turned those questions into lyrics and began looking for someone to put music to them.
It would take 6 years and 2 other song-writers before Buddy Greene would compose the music for the song that is now Mary Did You Know.
Mark's song is now a favorite Christmas song that has been recorded by more than thirty different artists including Michael English, Kathy Mattea, Kenny Rogers, Wynonna Judd, Billy Dean, Natalie Cole and Donnie Osmond.
