I wonder as I wander out under the sky,
How Jesus, the Saviour, 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 cows' 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 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 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 Saviour, did come for to die
For poor, ornery people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander
Out under the sky
