So everyone will see me the way that I see them

chorus

C
Are we happy plastic people

Under shiny plastic steeples

With walls around our weakness

And smiles to hide our pain

But if the invitation's open

To every heart that has been broken

Maybe then we close the curtain
Am7
On our stained glass masquerade

verse 3

Is there anyone who's been there

Are there any hands to raise
D
Am I the only one who's traded

In the altar for a stage

The performance is convincing
G
And we know every line by heart
D
Only when no one is watching
Am7
Can we really fall apart

C
But would it set me free
G
If I dared to let you see
D
The truth behind the person
Am7
That you imagine me to be

C
Would your arms be open
G
Or would you walk away
D
Would the love of Jesus
Am7
Be enough to make you stay

Casting Crowns

C G Am
Oh little town of Bethlehem
F C G Am F
Looks like another silent night
C G Am
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
F C G Am F
A giant star lights up the sky
C G Am
And while you're lying in the dark
F C G Am F
There shines an everlasting light
C G Am
For the King has left His throne
F C G Am F
And is sleeping in a manger tonight

C G Am F
Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
C G
For God became a man
Am F
And stepped into your world today
C G Am F
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
C G Am
As a city with no room for its King
F C G Am F
While you were sleeping
C
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
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
Will we be sleeping

United States of America

Looks like another silent night
