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.
