--- Lyrics
come they told me
there’s a new born king to behold
a new royalty
bring your finest gifts
to lay before the throne
to honor him
but I told them
I’m not a shepherd
or a wise man
I have no gift that’s fit
I can’t sing like Adele
or rap like Lupe
I have no treasures of gold
but I don’t suppose he has much use for those anyway
I’m just a poor boy too
I only have these words
shall I say them for you?
Mary nodded her head
Kimberly tickled the keys
my 3 cats kept time
and I said my piece
I said my best for him
tore my heart straight out of my chest for him
told him I knew how he felt
when they detested him
and falsely arrested him
I thanked him for the truth
that they scolded him for
told him what the atone meant to me and the impor-
tance of scorching blood so hot
that he had to sweat me through his pores
for getting through gethsemane on all fours
the scourging he absorbed
and the thorns
of that barbed-wire halo
for walking on water
when my feet were cemented to the shores
for not only showing me the way home
but getting me through the doors
for becoming like me for a moment
so that I could become like him forever
I told him how these wars and afflictions
were so much more than I envisioned
I mean, I knew about the battle
but not about the scars
I knew about the gamble
but not about the cards
this is hard
these burdens are burning, I’m laden with them
these aches and pains, I feel forsaken with them
but then he opened his arms and I saw his palms
I was graven in them
he had scars too
and he saved me with them
changed me with themmy eyes were opened to the liberation in him
and I saw how all these lonely stars
could become constellations in him
true as the noon sky’s blue
I thanked him for the courage
the hope
the ways of wisdom
to navigate every sacred day that I’m given
the amazing grace within him
the favor of forgiveness
when I wavered in suspicion
while they scathed him in prison
and bathed him in crimson
for breaking the system
so that today I can say with conviction
that because my savior was risen
I can rise too
for that I gave him all that I could give him
and as these vowels glided across a life time I implored
you were my consonant constant
the figure of my speech
my life line through the storms
it was full of awkward pauses
mispronounced words
stuttered and forged through a discord
of a thousand failed metaphors
I know it’s not much
but every syllable of this discourse
was just me trying to make my life rhyme with yours
my vocal chords were hoarse
and broken
and I could speak no more
I looked upand I saw my reflection bouncing back and forth
through tears that traversed time and eternity
he said
your words are enough
you are enough
then he smiled at me
me and my poetry

I am overwhelmed by the message and visuals. I feel the love of God through your message. "You are enough"
With the Christmas season coming back around I was reminded of this video and watched it again for the 10th time tonight...share it...the message is beautiful, and beautifully done.
Thanks so much Debra! Funny you should mention it, I just left a production meeting... I have a new Christmas video in the works. Watch for it this December :)
My soul cry’s out to the holy spirit watching this one
🙏✝️😇 so Blessed art thou
Thank you 🙏
Thanks...I needed a good cry this morning. ❤❤❤ That was very very touching.
Thanks Jennifer. Always happy to help make sure the tear ducts are in working order!
Thank you for creating this beautiful rendition of the timeless Christmas carol "The Little Drummer Boy." Well done! The video was selected as Mormon Music's "Video Find of the Week."
The fusion of the poetry, visuals and the music is truly stunning!
thank you Milana! ❤️🎤🎹🎥
Oh my - I'm overwhelmed and have no words to describe how this touched me - thank you
Sometimes no words is the best way to describe something. Thank you!
I don’t know if this is a music video or a short film, but it’s amazing. Always impressed with your work.
How could I not have heard of you before today? I don't even like poetry, at least I didn't, until now. You break my heart, but then it opens and is seeing what you are saying and it fills me with joy, mixed with sadness that I don't even have poetry to give to my Lord. I come empty handed. He loves me anyway.
Glad you found me Deb! Thanks so much for this. Glad you can relate :)
I love this so much. Thank you.
This is beautiful! Thank you! ❤
My pleasure :)
I love this! :-D
A neat take on an old favorite. Uniquely your style. Can't wait to have you on the radio!
Look forward to it!
Becoming like me for a moment so I can be like him for forever.
:)
