Family and friends,

Here's the story behind the song:

About the Song

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 can not 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.
