Lyrics While You Were Sleeping - Casting Crowns

O 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 lyin' in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleepin′ in a manger tonight
Tonight
O Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleepin'
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
O Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleepin'
While you were sleepin′
O 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 sleepin′
The Savior of the world is dyin' on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleepin′
While you were sleepin'
United States of America, looks like another silent night
As we′re sound asleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lyin′ 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 sleepin′?
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 sleepin′?
Will we be sleepin'?
United States of America, looks like another silent night
