“While You Were Sleeping”<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Oh little town of Bethlehem
\nLooks like another silent night
\nAbove your deep and dreamless sleep
\nA giant star lights up the sky
\nAnd while you’re lying in the dark
\nThere shines an everlasting light
\nFor the King has left His throne
\nAnd is sleeping in a manger tonight<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
\nFor God became a man
\nAnd stepped into your world today
\nOh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
\nAs a city with no room for its King
\nWhile you were sleeping
\nWhile you were sleeping<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Oh little town of Jerusalem
\nLooks like another silent night
\nThe Father gave His only Son
\nThe Way, the Truth, the Life had come
\nBut there was no room for Him in the world He came to save<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
\nThe Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
\nJerusalem, you will go down in history
\nAs a city with no room for its King
\nWhile you were sleeping
\nWhile you were sleeping<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

United States of America
\nLooks like another silent night
\nAs we’re sung to sleep by philosophies
\nThat save the trees and kill the children
\n<\/strong>And while we’re lying in the dark
\nThere’s a shout heard ‘cross the eastern sky
\nFor the Bridegroom has returned
\nAnd has carried His bride away in the night<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
\nWill Jesus come again
\nAnd leave us slumbering where we lay
\nAmerica, will we go down in history
\nAs a nation with no room for its King
\nWill we be sleeping
\nWill we be sleeping<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

United States of America
\nLooks like another silent night<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
