Subject: Lyr Add: I WONDER AS I WANDER
One version:

1. I wonder as I wander out under the sky,
How Jesus, the Savior, did come for to die.
For poor ornery people like you and like I --
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.

2. 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.

3. 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 had it, ‘cause He was the King.

4. Repeat of verse 1.

I love that word 'ornery' used where it is. Lets me identify right off. No misprint, either.
