I Wonder as I Wander is an Appalachian carol, first performed in 1933. Folklorist John Jacob Niles composed the song after hearing a fragment of a melody from a young girl in Murphy, North Carolina. It’s a song of wonder, sung by one who marvels that the Lord of heaven came down for ordinary, broken people. For me, it captures the holy awe associated with the season of advent. Even as we celebrate the wonder of Jesus’ birth, we remember that this Child came “for to die,” that we might live. The singer’s wondering heart becomes my own: Why would the Creator step into His creation? Why would Majesty trade glory for poverty, and life for death? Jesus came not for the perfect, but for the poor in spirit; not for the powerful, but for the wandering. He came for us. This is the miracle of grace. As we look up into the night sky, may we, too, recognize that sacred wonder that God loves us enough to come near and be with us in our ordinary, daily, broken lives.
I wonder as I wander out under the sky, how Jesus the Savior did come for to die. For poor ordinary people like you and like I—I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
