I wonder as I wander

George Crumb

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

how Jesus the Saviour did come for to die

for poor ordn'ry people like you and like I

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

when Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow stall

with wise men and farmers and shepherds and all

but high from the Heavens a star's light did fall

and a 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 Heav'n for to sing,

He surely could have it 'cause he was the King!
