I was reading blogs last week and came across this song over at Mandy's blog. The message and the words really hit home for me and I immediately posted the video link on Facebook then I went in search of the words. And of course I had to learn more about the people who wrote the song and the singer Becky Kelley. Her father got the inspiration from his 4 year grandson's question at the mall and with help from a co-writer this is what they came up with:
Christmas time was approaching
Snow was starting to fall
Shoppers choosing their presents
People filling the mall
Children waiting for Santa
With excitement and glee
A little boy tugged my sweater
Looked up and asked me
Where'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 around
The little boy at the mall
Might as well have had wings
As the tears filled my eyes
Thought I heard him sing
Where'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 me
In 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 Lord
(Repeat Chorus)
Where's the line?
Where's the line?
Where's the line for the Lord?
And here is the video of Becky singing:
Enjoy!
