"While You Were Sleeping"
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
you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
Oh little town of Jerusalem
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
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
United States of America
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
will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
