I Wonder As I Wander…

I wonder as I wander, out under the sky
How Jesus the savior, did come to die
To save lowly people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky…

Sweet Mary laid Jesus, within a cow’s stall
Came wise men and farmers and shepherds and all
The blessings of Christmas heaven did fall
And God’s promise of ages, to them did recall…

If Jesus had wanted for any small thing
A cloud 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, because
He was the King
Because He was King!

(Songwriters: MATHES, ROBERT / TRADITIONAL)

I wonder about many things as I wander through this world… through this holiday season.

I wonder how I would have reacted if I’d seen that star shining brightly in the sky?  Would I have followed or would I have been too busy to stop and take the time?

I wonder what gift I would have brought to the Christ child?  Would I have given everything I had, even if it meant going without?

I wonder if I might have been a bit judgmental of the lowly stable chosen to be the birth place of the Son?

I wonder if my heart would have skipped a beat the moment I laid eyes on that precious child in the manger?

I wonder if the “little drummer boy” was really there????  I hope he was!

I wonder why it’s so difficult at times for me to keep this sacred miracle alive 365 days a year… and not just during the Christmas season?

I wonder…

and I continue to wander…
