I heard this song today and just had to share it. It’s Becky Kelley’s “Where’s the Line to See Jesus,” and it stopped me right in my tracks. The first time I heard it, I thought it was just another Christmas tune — pretty melody, sweet message. But then the lyrics hit, and suddenly I found myself blinking back tears.
We stand in line for everything this time of year — Santa, store sales, concerts, coffee, you name it. We rush from one place to another, checking lists and wrapping gifts, trying to make everything picture-perfect. But somewhere in all that hustle, the heart of Christmas gets buried under the tinsel. This song’s simple question — “Where’s the line to see Jesus?” — cuts right through the noise.
The story behind it is just as touching. It came from a little boy who, while standing in line to see Santa, asked his mom why there wasn’t a line to see Jesus. Out of the mouths of babes, right? Sometimes it takes a child to remind us of what we’ve managed to overlook.
The message is gentle but powerful. It doesn’t preach or scold; it just makes you stop and think. Christmas isn’t about the rush, the decorations, or the perfect presents. It’s about celebrating the birth of the One who gave us the greatest gift of all — grace.
So maybe during the Christmas season this year, we should take a moment to stand in that line — not the one at the mall, but the one in our hearts. To pause, reflect, and whisper, “Happy Birthday, Jesus.”
Thank you, Becky Kelley, for putting such a beautiful reminder into song — one that brings the true spirit of Christmas right back home where it belongs.
