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

I like this song because Casting Crowns is not afraid to say what needs to be said:
"As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children"
Many singers would be afraid to challenge that position because they would not want to alienate any of their listeners who might be pro-abortion or a tree-hugger...there are many pro-abortion Christians and it's good that somebody is telling them that it's NOT okay....I commend Casting Crowns for taking a political position when most would not... | | 02-01-2007 05:51 shutterbug | 1 posts

This is a real down to earth song. It shows us that the people who went down in history for being such a great location for something so important did not know what they were doing when that great thing happened.
Then it asks the question, what will we be focused on when the next great thing is happening? What will we be too preoccupied with?
If you ask yourself this you will find the true meaning of this wonderful song |
