I Wonder As I Wander Lyrics - 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.
