The Little Drummer Boy

Have I ever mentioned how much I enjoy this time of year? I really love to hear all the Christmas songs all over the place. I also love to sing along to the many hymns that are used this time of year, one of my favorites being "The Little Drummer Boy."

The reason I mention this one in particular is because I think there is a piece of that boy in all of us. He's obedient as he's told to come and see the newborn King, and he does. He doesn't feel like he has anything that could measure up to what this King could ever want. Yet, he feels the call and decides to give the one thing that he does have to give, his playing.

Don't we all feel that way when it comes to being in His presence? We feel like what we have to offer isn't worthy at times? Yet, we go as we're called to do because we know that is what we need to be doing. We give to Him what we can, but never feel like it's enough. That is what that little drummer boy feels during this song.

Read the words to the song below, and tell me that this isn't you. I think you'll easily find that this song is all about you and your relationship with God at one time or another. Enjoy:

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born 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 honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Little Baby, 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 the 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.

I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas. God bless and stay safe. Feliz Navidad (my favorite Christmas tune)
