Casting Crowns - While You Were Sleeping: chords

F          C            Dm
Oh little town of Bethlehem
             A#            F  C Dm A#
Looks like another silent night
F           C                  Dm
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
         A#                  F C Dm A#
A giant star lights up the sky

And while you are lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight, tonight

F            C               Dm
Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while
          A#
you were sleeping
     F             C
For God became a man
              Dm              A#
And stepped into your world today
 F        C                Dm          A#
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
      F            C            Dm  A#
As a city with no room for its King

Chorus:
                 F   C Dm A#
While you were sleeping
                 F   C Dm A#
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

Chorus

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 were 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

Chorus:
Will we be sleeping?
Will we be sleeping?

United States of America
Looks like another silent night
