I Wonder As I Wander
John Jacob Niles
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
