Bb                     F       C	   Dm	Bb  
While you were sleeping  
  
VERSE 2 (Same as verse 1)  
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   
While you were sleeping   
  
VERSE 3 (Same as verses 1 & 2)  
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   
  
ENDING (Same as beginning of verse 3)  
United States of America   
Looks like another silent night
