A little background:
While at the mall a couple of years ago, my then four year old nephew, Spencer, saw kids lined up to see Santa Claus. Having been taught as a toddler that Christmas is the holiday that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, he asked his mom, "where's the line to see Jesus"? My sister mentioned this to my dad, who immediately became inspired and jotted words down to a song in just a few minutes.
... remembering the true meaning of Christmas. Out of the mouths of babes come profound truths that many adults can not understand. Hopefully Spencer's observation will cause people all over to reflect on the love of Jesus, and that one day we will all stand in line to see Him.

Christmas time was approaching
Snow was starting to fall
Shoppers choosing their presents
People filling the mallChildren waiting for Santa
With excitement and glee
A little boy tugged my sweater
Looked up and asked meWhere's the line to see Jesus?
Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday
Why don't we see Him more?As I stood in amazement
At this message profound
I looked down to thank him
He was no where aroundThe little boy at the mall
Might as well have had wings
As the tears filled my eyes
Thought I heard him singWhere's the line to see Jesus?
Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday
Why don't we see Him more?Where's the line to see Jesus?
He was born for me
Santa Claus brought me presents
But Christ gave His life for meIn the blink of an eye
At the sound of His trump
We'll all stand in line at His throne
Every knee shall bow down
Every tongue will confess
That Jesus Christ is LordWhere's the line to see Jesus?
Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday
Why don't we see Him more?Where's the line?
Where's the line?
Where's the line for the Lord?

It was so neat...yesterday I saw this song posted on one of my friend's facebook pages. Loved the song, listened to it a couple of times and read the back story. Then, as I headed to the church for some piano lessons, I turned on the local radio station to hear this song playing!! Great message in this song!
Wow. A power packed song.
