I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior did 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 '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
I wonder as I wander (I wander out under the sky)
I wonder as I wander (The days turn to weeks, turn to lives. )
I wonder as I wander (A King and his Kingdom are nigh.)
I wonder as I wander (I wander out under the sky.)
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 (I wonder at the fire in his eye) (I wander out under the sky)
I wonder as I wander (I wonder how I could despise) (The days turn to weeks, turn to lives.)
I wonder as I wander (I wonder at hands, feet and side) (A King and his Kingdom are nigh.)
I wonder as I wander (I wonder as I wander out under the sky) (I wander out under the sky.)
