I’ve love this song since I was a very young boy.\u00a0 My Dad used to sing it our house.\u00a0 Even before we were Christians it meant a lot to us.\u00a0 As a Christian, it has meant so much more to me.\u00a0 As a child I loved the story in the song, a simple one of a young boy, who comes to see the baby Jesus.\u00a0 He sees people bringing gifts of great wealth.\u00a0 The boy wonders what it is about the baby that everyone is so excited about.\u00a0 Then this little boy, poor in this world, sees the baby Jesus and He is touched deep down in his spirit as he realizes that he is gazing at the Savior of the world.\u00a0 The little pauper’s heart is transformed and he desires to give a rich gift to the newborn King as the others have.\u00a0 Yet he has nothing to give and he anguishes over his impoverished state.\u00a0 Then he realizes that he can\u2019t give to Jesus what he does not have.\u00a0 But he can gift the same gift that all the others have brought to Jesus, he can give his heart to Jesus, and he does.\u00a0 His heart rings out to honor Jesus as he plays his drum, the beats of his throbbing heart manifesting in the beats of his drum.\u00a0 At that moment, that little boy became very rich indeed!\u00a0 Today, still the best gift one can give the Lord Jesus Christ, in one\u2019s heart.\u00a0 After all, it\u2019s the only gift he accepts. \u00a0The little boy accepted the offer to come to King Jesus, and today that offer is still available to all. Put you hand in his and walk with him. Micah 6:8 – \u00a0He has shown you, O man, what\u00a0is<\/i>\u00a0good; And what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of you.\u00a0\u00a0 But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?<\/p>\n
