In the last of this series, I would like to focus on where too many of our U.S. citizens stand regarding Jesus. Sometimes, even Christians who supposedly believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, need a reality check. Mark Hall of Casting Crowns wrote words that are sobering and should wake up the country to its lackadaisical attitude when it comes to where our lives should be focused, where our priorities should lie, and not just on Sundays. This quote is from the song “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 nightAmerica, 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 sleepingUnited States of America
Looks like another silent night
This comes from a beautiful five-minute song. If you would like to watch the video in its entirety, here is the YouTube link:
