Another Silent Night

Last year around this time on my normal contemporary Christan music station I heard this song and it was wonderful. It really made me wonder... Are we becoming a nation with no room for our King? My conclusion was yes. In today's times it is so accepted to push Jesus aside or to put your faith on the back burner or to just not be accept the most wonderful gift of all...God became flesh and eventually boar our sin in death so we wouldn't have to. Being a mother I sometimes find myself thinking about what is was like for God to send Jesus knowing what he would go through. I think it is so important to remember what this wondrous time of year is about. So I wanted to share this song with you. I like to give people something to "chew"on every now and then!

"While You Were Sleeping"

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 sleepingWhile you were sleeping

Oh little town of Jerusalem

Looks like another silent night

The Father gave His only SonThe 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 historyAs a city with no room for its King

While you were sleepingWhile you were sleeping

United States of AmericaLooks like another silent night

As we're sung to sleep by philosophiesThat 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 againAnd leave us slumbering where we lay

America, will we go down in historyAs a nation with no room for its King

Will we be sleepingWill we be sleeping

United States of AmericaLooks like another silent night
