While You Were Sleeping
Jon Connor

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

Oh, 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 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, 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
