🍂Thank you for watching my rendition of this beautiful, unique Christmas carol! I have loved it for a long time and always felt it lent itself to a very prayerful, contemplative sound which is what I tried to create. I wanted the music to sound like it floated around you - lots of ambient tones! The nature of the song in turn lead to the image of a traveler, embarking on a spiritual journey, pondering these mysteries. And there you have the creative essence of this arrangement and video!

🍂I hope you find light and peace this winter and are blessed in many ways! See you next year!

{LYRICS}

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus my Savior did come for to die
For poor orn'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky

I wonder as I wander out into the wild
How Mary a virgin did bring forth a child
A boy child from Heaven by sin undefiled
I wonder as I wander out into the wild

Magnificat anima mea Domini
Ecce ancilla domini
mihi secundum verdum tuum

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus my Savior did come for to die
For poor orn'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
