I wonder as I wander, out under the sky, How Jesus the Savior did come for to die For poor, orn'ry 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, 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 heav'n 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 orn'ry people like you and like I; I wonder as I wander, out under the sky.
