I’ve always loved this song, It speaks of coming to Christ with our nothingness and Him finding us beautiful.
Winnipeg 16-year-old Sean Quigley, had that same love for this song, but he performed it so well that his amazingly well-done video went viral and even the largely anti-Christian CBC took notice.
“Drummer Boy speaks to me so much,” he told the Canadian public broadcaster. “The whole song is a story. It’s about this boy who gets word of Jesus being born and he goes to see him and he doesn’t have anything to give him; he’s like ‘I don’t have money, I don’t have gifts to give you. But I can play my drum and that’s more than enough’.”
