our friends. Thank you for finding it and for sending it.

>About the Song
>Â
>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 cannot 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.
