I wonder as I wander, out under the sky

How Jesus the savior, did come to die

To save lowly people like you and like I

I wonder as I wander, out under the sky

Sweet Mary laid Jesus, within a cow’s stall

Came wise men and farmers and shepherds and all

The blessings of Christmas heaven did fall

And God’s promise of ages, to them did recall

If Jesus had wanted for any small thing

A cloud in the sky or a bird on the wing

Or all of God’s angels in heaven to sing

He surely could have had it, because

He was the King

Because He was King!
