Becky Kelley is an up and coming Christian country artist with a great message for this Christmas season.
Her new release, Where’s the Line to See Jesus?, was inspired by her 4-year-old nephew Spencer who saw the lines to see Santa at the mall and asked an innocent question: “Where’s the line to see Jesus?”
This sweet observation inspired Becky’s father to write down the words to this song. Becky recorded it with a band and put it on YouTube last year just before Christmas where it became a hit. Click play on the video above to hear the song for yourself.
Becky writes on her website:
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.
I am happy to see a Christian artist with a positive message about keeping Christ in Christmas find success in the entertainment industry. If you would like to encourage and support Becky Kelley’s work, you can purchase her music and videos online.

Wow! Thank you!
My husband had only one answer to the question, “Where’s the line to see Jesus?” It was, (as what I think it should be for ALL Catholics),
“In every Catholic Church.” To receive Jesus in the Eucharist!!
He even found a great photo of children all lined up for their First Communion. “We’res the line to see Jesus?” Catholics we all know the answer. JMJ Pray for us.
Sorry I’m not Catholic, so I’m just trying to get understanding. Catholics believe Jesus is an object in the Catholic Church?
Ceecee -
No, Catholics do not believe that Jesus is an object in Church. We believe, based on the Gospel of John, Chapter 6 and 2000 years of Church history, that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Eucharist. We believe that after the prayer of consecration made by the priest, the offerings of bread and wine become body, blood, soul and divinity of our Savior, Jesus.
I’ll leave it to St. Augustine to explain it better than I could…
Augustine
“I promised you [new Christians], who have now been baptized, a sermon in which I would explain the sacrament of the Lord’s Table. . . . That bread which you see on the altar, having been sanctified by the word of God, is the body of Christ. That chalice, or rather, what is in that chalice, having been sanctified by the word of God, is the blood of Christ” (Sermons 227 [A.D. 411]).
Thanks, Matt for your explanation.
What a beautiful and evocative song! It stirs up a visceral longing to connect…with this Jesus, the reason for the season. We might do well to simply share the song with family, friends and acquaintances. And yes, support artists who are bold for the Lord. Blessed Advent! Merry Christmas!
Of course, the answer is in the center aisle of your local friendly parish.
For Catholics, I pray that this beautiful song will compel more of us to visit Jesus more often in the Tabernacle, or during Eucharistic Exposition! He’s so lonely in our churches! He’s waiting for each one of us to come to Him in the Blessed Sacrament and sometimes, just to say Hello!
I would have told the little boy that there is no need for a line to see Jesus because he lives in our hearts. He is in the hearts of everyone at the mall!
I heard the song today and it really touched my heart. I know you will go
far with this song.Thank you so much for writing this song this message needed to be heard.
Great song! While I have nothing against Santa, it is criminal if the line to see him is longer than the line to see Jesus. I have actually posted a link to the song on my Facebook page, and maybe it will lead to my non-Christian friends there giving their lives to Him.
I heard this song for the first time a few days ago. I was hugely impressed with the sentiment. It asks the question of all those Christians who don’t yet know where the line is. Yes, we Catholics know that Jesus is present in the Eucharist and available to all Catholics on a daily basis. It is truly a shame that many refuse to believe. I believe.
