About the Song
by Becky Kelley
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 a 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 recording off to Nashville without much response, except from 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 second verse and part of the chorus... with goosebumps and emotions high, we were hopeful and felt like we had something special. The demo was recorded in just under two hours and sent off again to Nashville ... still no response.
Then two 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 3,000 hit and it soared from there. We received e-mails, phone calls, Facebook messages for people from 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 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 ofer 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.
