While You Were Sleeping

Lyrics

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
 ♪
 Mary shivers in the cold
 Trying to keep the Savior warm
 Born among the animals wrapped in dirty rags 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 its King
 While you were sleeping
 While you were sleeping
 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 laying 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
