I wonder as I wander

"Traditional Appalachian Carol "

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
And high from God's heaven, a star's light did fall
As 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 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 on'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
