I don't know why I haven't heard this song before...I love Casting Crowns and usually have a Christian radio station on in the car while driving around. The other day, based on some comments I read on facebook, I tried another radio station her in the Twin Cities. It was refreshing to hear some new music. Don't get me wrong, I love KTIS, but sometimes it seems the same songs are playing over and over and over again. So, I was listening to 95.3 Praise FM, and heard this song!
What really got me thinking was the following verse:
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 should heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night
Here's a video of "While You Were Sleeping" by Casting Crowns that I found on YouTube.
