how jesus the saviour did come to die
C Em
for poor ord’n’ry people like you and like and like i .
Am Em Am Dm
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 did then 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 heav’n for to sing ,
he surely could have it , ’cause he was the king .
