I've always been drawn to the drums, I think it was the ability to hit things, make lots of noise and not be punished for it. I know everyone remembers the old claymation film based around the song, I can watch that movie anytime and anywhere.
As I've gotten older the lyrics have started to mean so much more to me, the story (even though it's fictitious) is so beautiful. As a musician I have chosen to use my gifts to point people towards Jesus & His presence, like this song so simply & beautifully states: "So to honor HIM... I played my best for HIM"
He is worthy! I hope this song blesses you, makes you dance, makes you move & feel some type of way.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!

lyrics
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.
