where's the line to see Jesus?

I love all the lights at this time of the year.

Especially those that point us to the reason for this season.

I heard a song on the radio yesterday...

and it's been playing through my mind ever since.

A beautiful and touching song called...

'Where's the line to see Jesus?'

The song was written by the grandfather of a four-year-old boy...
who saw the long line-up of children waiting to see Santa...

and wondered aloud where the line-up was to see Jesus.

Was this not Jesus' birthday?

Christmas time was approaching, the snow is 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, I 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.

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.

Where's the line . . .
Where's the line . . .
Where's the line . . .
For the Lord?
