Hello Everyone,
You were on my mind as I watched and listened to the video, (see link below, but read all of this first).
I am hoping that God is blessing you at this time of year.
He has wonderful things planned for your future.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
God knows your hearts desire and His desire is to fulfill yours.
Praise The Lord!
Chuck
The reason for the season! Very inspirational song/video......
Be sure to read below before hearing the song
THIS IS A WONDERFUL BREAK ALL SHOULD
HEAR!!!
Here’s the story behind 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 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 web site 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.
