From my family to yours!
Reese, Lindsey, Graham and Joel
Here is one of my favorite Christmas songs.
It's hard for me to listen to this song or read the lyrics without tears coming to my eyes!
While You Were Seeping
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 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.
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.
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
United States of America
Looks like another silent night.
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 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.
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

And has carried His bride away 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
United States of America
Looks like another silent night.
