i wonder as i wander out under the sky

How jesus, the savior, had come for to die

For poor on'ry people, like you and like i.

I wonder as i wander out under the sky.



When mary birthed jesus, t'was in a cow's stall

With wisemen and farmers and shepherds and all,

But high in god's heaven a star's light did fall,

And the promise of ages, it then did recall.



If jesus had wanted for any wee thing

A star in the sky or a bird on the wing

Or all of god's angels in heaven for to sing

He surely could have it, for he was the king!



I wonder as i wander out under the sky

How jesus, the savior, had come for to die

For poor on'ry people like you and like i.

I wonder as i wander out under the sky.
