[@bernicevitagliano2934]

"When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God!" Awesome words!

[@1towhead]

I never tire of hearing this song, especially when Mark sings it. I guess it is because he wrote the lyrics and he puts his heart and soul into it when he sings.

[@carranmanning3334]

Actually Mark only wrote the lyrics in 1984, Buddy Green wrote the music score in 1991. It was certainly a collaborative effort. They both have done an amazing job. My all time favorite Christmas song.

[@conniegomez1321]

amen and amen

[@davidedwards3361]

@@carranmanning3334 I loved Marks comment about writing this. He admitted that Buddy green wrote the music, because, as he said, "I can't read music, so I don't think I should write it". Bill Gaither has to sing Marks part to him, and he remembers it from then on. What a talent.

[@scotttovey]

@@carranmanning3334 "Actually Mark only wrote the lyrics in 1984, Buddy Green wrote the music score in 1991. It was certainly a collaborative effort. They both have done an amazing job. My all time favorite Christmas song." The music is irrelevant when it comes to the message and heart of a song. That all comes from the author of the lyrics. While the author of a song is not the only person that can put passion into the performance of a song, Whitney Houston's rendition of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" is perhaps the best example of this; when the author performs a song; it is most often from the perspective of what he or she was thinking and feeling when the song was being penned.

[@oldermusiclover]

@@davidedwards3361 love Michael and Buddy singing but this is my second fav version of it no secular singing can quite get it right

[@LandonsGrampa]

Mark, David and Guy, are arguably the 3 best voices, in gospel music. Combine that with being accompanied by a blind man on the piano and you have God speaking, almost in person.

[@dominikregniet8322]

@@janaelliott9321 Yes Jana. The piano player is a well known artist himself, named Gordon Mote. He is a singer and songwriter. For the last, well, I can't tell you how many years, I have attended the Gaither Family Fest in Gatlinburg, TN. It's 3 days of concerts and family fellowship, with a morning session and an evening concert. If you ever want to experience God's love, multiplied many times over, you should check it out. God bless you and your family and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Just never forget that presents are the least important part of Christmas.

[@LandonsGrampa]

@@janaelliott9321 In fact Jana, if you really want to tear up, you should watch this video. Gordon wrote this. I can't make this stuff up, but a blind man wrote a song, that is titled "If they could see you through my eyes". It's a beautiful song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5yceIKBiZZsacU

You know that I am getting close to 70 and for many years I have always been in awe in Mary that someone an earthly mother went through so much and to see her son go through so much and what strength and faith to know that her son was the son of our Heavenly Father. What an honor - what faith and what strength she had. Mary knew he was the great I am Psalm 91 versus 1-16 OMG Mary knew and so did Joseph the perfect choices to care for our Lord and Savior

[@kendrawilton6914]

When I really really listened to this song, it impacted me greatly. I have been a Christian for many years and I ask myself, Mary what DID you know beforehand. The Bible tells us that an Angel was sent to you and told you a few things. To raise such a child as Jesus. To see His ministry. His miracles and then Jesus brutal death. Mary, you were NOT an everyday woman!

[@edwardwalsh5477]

God tells us what we need to know and in love sometimes more as in prophesy. Whatever He entrusted to her person was well taken care of, "Mary treasured all this in her heart ..." We need to recognize Scripture as valuable and treasure it listen to it and highly treasure it - obey It and now obey the Holy Spirit.
