Lyrics
Verse 1
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
Chorus
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
Verse 2
Mary shivers in the cold, trying to keep the Savior warm
Born among the animals wrapped in dirty rags
Because there was no room for Him in a world He came to save
Verse 3
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...
