It’s easy to get caught up in gift giving and celebratory events during Christmas; but let’s not forget what the holiday commemorates.

Many songs are written in celebration of Christ’s birth. One in particular is “The Little Drummer Boy” (originally “Carol of the Drum“). A beloved Christmas song written in 1941 by American composer Katherine Kennicott Davis,  it was first recorded in 1951 by the Trapp Family Singers.

Praise Him for past and present leaders and for our 2023 leaders forthcoming for “he deposes kings and raises up others” as He chooses.
