CASTING CROWNS lyrics : "While You Were Sleeping"

Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep

A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light

For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight


Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today

Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping

While you were sleeping

Oh little town of Jerusalem

Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come

But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save

Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping

The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King

While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping


United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies

That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky

For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night


America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay

America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping

Will we be sleeping

United States of America

Looks like another silent night
