While You Were Sleeping

by Casting Crowns

  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, 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 J 

 erusalem, 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, 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
