"While You Were Sleeping"

"While You Were Sleeping"  

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 and ever lasting 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 it's king 

While you were sleeping 

While you were sleeping  


Mary shivers in the cold 

Trying to keep the savior warm  

Born among the animals wrapped in dirty rages 

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


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 it's king 

While you were sleeping 

While you were sleeping  


Untiled states of America  

Looks like another silent night 

As we're sang to sleep by philosophies  

That save trees and kill 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 is slumbering were 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
