As a child, I recall watching "The Little Drummer Boy." It still moves me to tears when the little boy plays his drum for the baby Jesus while I hear...
Come they told me... pa rum pum pum pum
A newborn King to see... pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring... pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King... pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honour Him... pa rum pum pum pum
When we come.
Baby Jesus... pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too... pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring... pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give a King... pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you? pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum.
Mary nodded... pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time... pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him... pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him... pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me... pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.
May the drumbeat of our hearts overflow with love for Him... and may "playing our best for Him" be our lives well-lived, so He may smile on us for all eternity!
