Where's The Line to see Jesus
About the Song
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. After putting music to the words, and doing a quick recording at home, he received a great response from friends. He sent the song off to Nashville without much response, except for a Christian song writer who suggested adding a bridge at the end of the first chorus. My dad
then asked if I wanted to record the song to see what we could do with it. I listened to the song, made a few changes to the words to make it flow better, and we headed to Shock City Studios. It was at the studio where Chris, owner and producer, rewrote the 2nd verse and part of the
chorus... with goose bumps and emotions high, we were all hopeful and felt like we had something special. The demo was recorded in just under 2 hours and sent off again to Nashville... still no response.
Then 2 weeks before Christmas last year, my cousins Greg and Robbie decided to do a video to see what we could accomplish on YouTube. The first day we had 3000 hits and it soared from there. We received e-mails, phone calls, Facebook messages from
people all over asking for the music, CD's, iTunes, anything... we had nothing. After a couple of meetings with Chris following the amazing response, we got serious. We headed back into the studio this past spring... this time with guitars, drums, bass, pianos, choirs... the real deal.... and here we are today.
Getting iTunes set up, a website put together, and loving that thousands upon thousands of
Christians have come together... 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. We are most thankful to our Heavenly Father to have this chance to share our music with you. Merry Christmas everyone.

YES I SAID IT MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND I MEANT IT TOO.
As the world busily bustles through its never ending political correctness, by instead wishing you seasons greetings, happy holidays, or whatever non-Christ drival the advertising guru's can pour upon us. I, with a few of my friends and relatives will remain holdouts in insisting the reason we celebrate December 25th and the season around it is because that symbolizes the date of birth of Jesus Christ and some very wise person many years ago wisely proclaimed it Christmas Day. A short time later most people in the free world and a lot of the unfree world starting saying Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, to encompass the whole season. I have no beef with you calling this time period whatever you and your faith wishes to call it. Just do not tell me I can't call it what I want to and stop trying to tell everybody else what they can and can't call it. Just be happy and be free and oh Merry Christmas.
