While You Were Sleeping Lyrics - Lifesong - 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 

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 came 

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
