Ben-Real - And He Drummed Lyrics

I was just a child, so young and small
A humble heart, no riches at all
I played my drum for the newborn King
A gift of love, my only thing
The angels sang, the shepherds came
And I drummed my heart out in His name
In that quiet stable, I felt His grace
A little boy, with a steady pace

Years passed by, I watched Him heal
The blind, the lame-His touch was real
The angels sang, the shepherds came
And I drummed my heart out in His name
In that quite stable, I felt his grace
A little boy with a steady pace

Years passed by, I watched Him heal
The blind, the lame-His touch was real
I followed Him, I played my song
A rhythm steady, firm, and strong
I saw the dead arise to life
The wind and waves, He calmed the strife
With every miracle, my heart would swell
And through it all, my drum would tell

Then came the day, the darkest night
He carried the cross, no end in sight
I played my drum with all my might
But when they nailed Him, I lost the fight
My hands fell still, my heart was torn
I couldn't beat my drum, I mourned
I saw Him hang, I saw Him die
The rhythm stopped beneath the sky

The drum was silent, the night was long
No more the beating, no more the song
I waited in the dark, so cold, so deep
But in my heart, His love I'd keep

Then came the dawn, the stone rolled away
The Savior lives, He's here to stay
My heart beat faster, my hands could feel
The drum was back, the rhythm real
He rose again, the world reborn
And in my heart, no more was worn
The silence broken, the sound renewed
I drummed once more for the One who knew

The drum is beating, the song is loud
With every sound, I'll sing my vow
For Christ is risen, my soul is free
I'll play for Him eternally

From that first beat, to the last of days
I played for Him in all my ways
Through joy and sorrow, through love and pain
His grace, His mercy, will always reign

The drum keeps beating, the song lives on
Through every season, through every dawn
For Christ the Savior, the King I see
I'll drum for Him for eternity

The drum keeps beating, the song lives on
Through every season, through every dawn
For Christ the Savior, the King I see
I'll drum for Him for eternity
