Where's the Line to See Jesus?

A dear college friend of mine sent me a link to one of the most amazing songs I've heard this Christmas Season. The story behind the song isa  4 year old saw kids standing in line at a mall to see Santa Claus. The child turned to his mother and asked, "where's the lind to see Jesus? If Christmas is Jseus' birthday, why dont' we see him more?" This inspired his grandfather to write this song.

I am completely touched by the lyrics to this song and the reminder it gives to us that this is the season of Christs birth. He should be seen all around us in everything we do. It's not about the presents, the decorations, the lights, the food. It's about the Savior and His birthday. I hope that when Christ looks down on my life, He will see me standing in line waiting to see Him.

Lyrics to the song,
" Where's the Line to see Jesus".

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,

[chorus:]
"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 Clause brought me presents,
But Christ gave His life for Me."

As I stood in amazement
At this message profound
I looked down to thank him
He was no where around.
A little boy at the mall
Might as well had had wings
As the tears filled my eyes
I thought I heard him sing:

[chorus:]
"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 Clause brought me presents,
But Christ gave His life for me."

In the blink of an eye,
At the sound of His trump't,
We'll all stand in line at His throne.
Every knee shall bow down.
Every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

[chorus:]
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 Clause brought me presents,
But Christ gave His life for me.
