I Wonder as I Wander - Peter, Paul and 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
