I Wonder...But Thanks Be to God!

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 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 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.

{John Jacob Niles}

"When I look at Your heavens,

the work of Your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which You have set in place,

[I wonder...] 

what is man that You are mindful of him,

and the son of man that You care for him?"

{Psalm 8:3-4}

"For God so loved the world,

that He gave His only Son,

that whoever believes in Him

should not perish but have eternal life."

{John 3:16}

"Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!"

{II Corinthians 9:15}

different context...

same great thought :)
