While You Were Sleeping
For my annual Christmas post, I thought I would post the video for a wonderful song by Casting Crowns. "While You Were Sleeping" is the story of Jesus' birth and ultimately what America is missing. The person that put this video together, has clips from both The Nativity Story and Passion of the Christ. Enjoy!
Listen closely to the lyrics concerning America. As we each celebrate Christmas, let us keep in mind what it is all about, the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
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
