NEW CHRISTMAS SONG....one of the best!

 


Beautiful story and song.. enjoy....

 

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 goose bumps 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 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
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.
