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 shepherds and all
But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall
And the promise of the ages it then did recall
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
