I Wonder As I Wander, Out Under The Sky,
How Jesus The Savior Did Come For To Die
For Poor Ordinary People Like You And Like I;
I Wonder As I Wander, Out Under The Sky.
When Mary Birthed Jesus, ‘Twas In A Cow’s Stall
With Wise Men And Farmers And Shepherd And All.
But High From God’s Heaven A Star’s Light Did Fall,
And The Promise Of Ages It Did Then 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, ‘Cause He Was The King.
I Wonder As I Wander, Out Under The Sky,
How Jesus The Savior Did Come For To Die
For Poor Ordinary People Like You And Like I;
I Wonder As I Wander, Out Under The Sky.
