I found the line to see Jesus!

Yesterday I posted that poignant song entitled, "Where's the Line to See Jesus?"  I hope you got a chance to view the blog.  

Today, I had a chance to go to my home church.  It is a distance and so I don't get to fellowship with them as often as I would like, but today I drove down to what I thought was going to be the children's Christmas Program.  Boy, was I in for a surprise!  Oh, yes, it was the children who were running the "Christmas program," but it was anything but a "program!"  It did not consist of your usual Christmas song or two, and kids in cute costumes, but rather it was a time of full blown WORSHIP to Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
  
God's Presence was so tangible and each piece that created the whole was done with much heart and soul.  Nearing the end, the children who were 5th-College age, sang "Holy, Holy, Holy-Praise Him and Lift Him Up."  There was no stopping at what was supposed to be the end.  We were on our feet, clapping and singing and worshiping God...  The Worship Leader motioned for the kids to come back from their seats and instead of going back up on the platform they simply lined up in one long line across the front of the sanctuary, leading us in the singing.

Suddenly, I heard: "Here is the Line to See Jesus."  When we finally stopped singing, the kids turned around with faces glowing and all I could do was weep as I saw the Line to See Jesus.  Oh,I want to be in that line everyday, don't you?
"...And a child shall lead them... " Isaiah 11:6

By the way, here are the words to the song they ended with:
