I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the savior did come for to die
For poor ornery 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 shepherds and all
But high from 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 had 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 ornery people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
