Story behind the song
One of the most moving traditional hymn melodies from Appalacia. I have loved this simple melody since I was a child. Our arrangement reflects the wonder of the birth of Christ.
Lyrics
I Wonder As I Wander I wonder as I wander out under the sky How Jesus the Savior 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 farmers 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 a wing Or all of God's angels in heav'n for to sing He surely could have it, 'cause He was the King. I wonder as I wander out under the sky How Jesus the Savior did come for to die For poor on'ry people like you and like I I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
