Where's the Line to See Jesus?

I don't normally post a video clip but this song touched me deeply so I thought I better share it.

Before you watch the video though, let me tell you the story behind the song as told by Steve Haupt:

"While at the mall last year, my 4 year old grandson saw kids lined up excitedly to see Santa Claus. Having been taught as a toddler that Christmas is the holiday that Christians celebrate the birth of God's son, with the innocence of a child, he asked his mom, "Where's the line to see Jesus? If Christmas is Jesus' birthday, why don't we see Him more?"

As his grandpa, I was so happy that little Spencer understood the meaning of Christmas at such a tender age, and then the words for a song were jotted down in just a few minutes.

The song was inspired by my grandson, and the message was inspired by my Savior. Out of the mouths of babes come profound truths that many adults can not understand. Hopefully Spencer's observation and our song will cause people to reflect on the love of Jesus, and the certainty that one day we will all stand in line to see Jesus.

Enjoy this beautiful song.
It is what Christmas is REALLY all about!
Merry Christmas everyone.
