WHERE’S THE LINE TO SEE JESUS
?
ABOUT THAT 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
goosebumps 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 nothin'. 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.
