Evensong for Advent

“Where’s the Line to See Jesus?”
 
Christmas time was approaching
Snow was 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
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.
