I Wonder As I Wander

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.
