while you were sleeping.


While You Were Sleeping - Casting Crowns (click on the link to watch the video on youtube)


Verse 1
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
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
Verse 2
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

Verse 3
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

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
the song "while were sleeping" by casting crowns talks about 3 places: bethlehem the birth city of jesus, jerusalem he's death site and burial and yet another place, the united states of america, the video is asking one main question to the american nation whos motto is "in god we trust" will be sleping when jesus come again will you do the same mistake as bethlehem and jerusalem did? and it can be asked to every other nation to the church or even to yourselves, will you be sleeping when jesus will return?




will you be ready when He comes knocking?

or are you ready to smile back just as He's doing to you?
