I Wonder as I Wander (Arr. Andrew Carter)
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour 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
Came wisemen and farmers and shepherds and all
But high in God's heaven a star's light did fall
And the promise of ages, it then did recall
Recall, 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, for he was the King
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus, the Saviour, had come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour 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
Came wisemen and farmers and shepherds and all
But high in God's heaven a star's light did fall
And the promise of ages, it then did recall
Recall, 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, for he was the King
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus, the Saviour, had come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
