Weekly Words To Live By #79 . . .

This is one of my favorite Christmas folk songs written by John Jacob Niles in 1933.

I hope you take the time to listen and ponder the wonder of Christ's birth.

I Wonder As I Wander 

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die

For poor on'ry people 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 wise men and farmer and shepherds and all

But high from God's heaven, a star's light did fall

And the 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 heaven to sing

He surely could have it 'cause he was the King

I wonder as I wander out under the sky

How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die

For poor on'ry people like you and like I

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
