I Wonder As I Wander — Peter, Paul & Mary

I wonder, as i wander out under the sky How jesus the saviour had come for to die For poor orn'ry creatures 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 wisemen and shepherds and farmers and all And high in the heavens a star's light did fall 'twas the promise of the ages, it then did recall

If jesus had wanted for any wee thing Like a star in the sky, or a bird on the wing Or all of god's angels in heav'n for to sing Well, he surely could have had them, for he was their king

I wonder as i wander out under the sky How jesus the saviour had come for to die For poor orn'ry creatures like you and like i I wonder as i wander, out under the sky.
