pa rum pum pum pum

Sunday morning we sang The Little Drummer Boy in church, which was a little weird b/c I don't think I had ever sang it in church before, but isn't it kind of an odd song in general ?
playing a drum for a baby?  when you think about it isn't that the most awful idea ever?
I have a hard time believing Mary nodded in approval... she was a pretty easy going teenage girl though huh?? 
But while we were singing it it hit me that as long as you're truly offering your best to the Lord it pleases him.  So if you're poor, can't sing, are shy, not so smart.... whatever, it doesn't matter. Don't ever feel as though you don't have a gift to bring, you can use whatever you are good at, even if that means playing a drum for a baby.

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.
