Little Drummer Boy "What will you bring Christ our Lord & Savior this Christmas

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. 

Their are so many meaningful hymns and Christmas songs that are apart of the season of Christmas, but I must tell you "The Little Drummer Boy" is my favorite.  You may ask yourself why not "Silent Night" or O Holy Night.  Well, I am so glad you ask me. This song has special meaning to me because it simply reminds me that  Jesus was born as a gift for the world to receive.  I also think of the lowly animal feed box where he was born. I also reflect and think that their was no room for Emmanuel Christ our Lord. Scripture tells us he came to the world to seek and save the lost yet the world received him not. But this song is not just about Jesus, it's very personal to me because I put myself in the place of the drummer boy. I am not a wealthy man of earthly things but I am rich in spirit.  I certainly cannot bring expensive gifts.  But does Jesus want gifts our does he want my heart?  Well, that question to me is easy...Jesus came so that we live and have life in abundance and in all it's fullness.  That baby and King wants my heart. Jesus is the gift I live and have my being because he lives I can face tomorrow.  I am poor and have no gifts to bring but I gave God my heart and I love God because he first loved me.  I will again focus myself on giving God my all and living for Him and sharing his love with the world.  What gift will you bring Jesus?  Do you search for him tonight? If you are hurting Jesus is the "Healer" of the broken in spirit.  Do you feel like you are in the dark during this season...know Jesus loves you and He is the Light of the World.  Please receive the gift of Jesus and may God richly bless each of you this Christmas season!  Give him your heart.
