Hands down: Casting Crowns: Peace on Earth.
Love the song "While You Were Sleeping"!! Apparently it came out in 2005 with their "Lifesong" CD, but I just heard it this year with their Christmas CD. The lyrics are a bit different on the Christmas CD this year, so I had to type them out myself:
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, tonight
Oh, Bethlehem what you have missed while you were sleeping
God became a man and stepped into your world today
Oh, Bethlehem you would go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping, While you were sleeping
Mary shivers in the cold
Trying to keep the Savior warm
Born among the animals
Wrapped in dirty rags
Because there was no room for Him
In the world he came to save
Oh, Bethlehem what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man and stepped into your world today
Oh, Bethlehem you would 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
To 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 sleepin, Will we be sleeping
United States of America
Looks like another silent night
