Casting Crowns - While You Were Sleeping Muisc Video

[xxPureNatioNx]

passion of the Christ always makes me tear up.... why would anyone go through that much pain not just for me for everybody... God really does care about us and we should never forget it

[godsgr89]

I am breathless, wake up America, we have been sleeping for too long. Praise God for Casting Crowns

[bleevernChrist]

Anyone know the movies used? I know the Nativity Story and Passion of the Christ but the last one where it lookslike people are being taken in the Rapture. Anyone????

[PeacefulWings]

@bleevernChrist It might possibly be Left Behind... i know theres a book series (which i have read and highly recommend) called Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. What they did was they took the book of Revelations and used it as an outline for this series about what MIGHT happen when Jesus comes again. so good!!

[cavemanl06]

[muffin0061]

i along with tow other girls will b singing this in front of your either church Christmas i love it

[pigpink1971]

EXCELLENT! - I love it all, but the part where it goes into America and the images you used were perfect! Was the part with the rapture from a particular movie?

[mj1abc10]

This is the first time I have seen this song done any amount of justice in video. You will be blessed in the Kingdom. I am a pastor and I seek to find other believers that are committed to the truth of Jesus. May you be blessed richly.

[elihew]

@thecumbee,

I cannot express in words right now what an excellent job you did in creating this video! I've always loved the song because it is so true. Tonight I heard it on the radio and thought I'd just see if by any chance it was on YouTube. You can bet that I will be forwarding it to many friends this Christmas season.

One thing I cannot understand however; how in the world are there four "dislikes" for something so good...

Thanks again!

Eli

[Alien13Lover]

i always say if i was an angel up in Heaven,listening to GOD unveiling HIS plan to come down and die as a human! I would say"but master,y? y do u want to become a human? they're ugly,dumb,and evil! and u say u love them! what is there to love in a human?"

[jump5nrg]

Sadly, it does seem as though we have no room for Jesus. I hope and pray that changes.

[saxplayer59]

Anointed~~ more please------- Praise You Jesus

[nickjismyhero2050]

I go to a catholic school and my mom played and sang this song while there was a slide show on abortion facts in the background. To say the least, I cried.

[PILRofFIRE]

I know how to play the beginning  on the piano

[2857amy]

I am so moved by this particular take on this song. The video is most powerful. Thank you. It is hard to hear these words, as I feel we, as a country have let our Lord down. We need to get THIS right, NOW. Everyone pray. Pray for guidance, to know YOUR cause, Dear God. NOT ours.

[algallego]

Does anyone know where to find a MIDI file for this song?

[XxxXVANSXx]

What upsets me is that God will accept us amd we spit on him for it. They killed him. He saved us. That makes us look like freakin monsters. He tries to protect kids, while their parents don't give a shit what happens to them. We're monsters. But he still loves us. That's what is so superising. But I am VERY glad he chose to save us.

[XxxXVANSXx]

Some people don't get it. God is real and that we need to focus on him and other humans. That doesn't mean not to focus on animals and other crap, but less on that and more on the other stuff. People need to stop bein couch potatoes and fat asses. this song is soo awesome and I love it. Even if it's sad. Itz soo pretty. Also people are so stupid to be fighting each other. But some people are too stupid to listen to anybody.

[mibarra05]

why do we attack one another, where is the love of Christ in it. If ALL of us would concentrate on living as God intended and love one another more than ourselves. am I perfect, nope, but i strive to be better than i was yesterday. If we allow, we become a tool for the enemy to use one one another. We all have a choice to make. Choose this day whom you will serve.

[StrengthFromAbove83]

@killercookie777 go away dirty hippie.

[killercookie777]

@StrengthFromAbove83 no i have the freedom to be here and say what i want man.

[StrengthFromAbove83]

@killercookie777 yeah. you do. but how about do the INTELLIGENT thing and EDUCATE yourself before regurgitating propaganda trash?

[devonbiker]

Saw this video and heard this song for the first time from facebook link. Very well made video - thank you!

[kaechuck]

Beautiful......so much in so few words.

[jbean195]

What beautiful people Joseph and Mary were.

Hard to have a favorite song from Casting Crowns. This is the one at Christmas though.

[classylover1234]

I love this video! Great job!

[JonasBrothersLizgbj]

I love this song! My parents bought the CD it is on and I just loved it. What movie are these clips from?

[LeeboyJenkins]

@JonasBrothersLizgbj

looks like some of it was from the passion of the Christ movie, at least the ones used for the Jerusalem verse

[007thday]

Not only is the USA sleeping, but the alarm clock has gone off and they hit the snooze button!

[w0nderinwander]

I don't know how anybody can listen to this song/watch this video, and not be touched.

[J1Militans]

Abortion, homosexual marriage, pornography, drugs, love of money, rejection of truth, intolerance for religion... Where are you going, United States of America?

[kentuckygirl58]

Absolutely beautiful!! God Bless!!

[SuperNaomi96]

I love this song!

I want to learn the piano part so badly! 

[1977mandyo]

so true and such a great heart touching song!!!

[revelation7771]

Oh my goodness that song is so annointed I feel the power and presence of the Lord everytime I listen to it, yes God Bless Casting Crowns for doing the Lords work they dont know the impact that their songs make on people, to God be the Glory!

[greymeradd]

just listening to this group puts things into perspective 4 me. How many times do we listen to songs because of the tune or how nice it sounds. Their tunes do not overshadow the lyrics. They just draw more attention to the words. Thank you God for this group. This is Gospel music

[j3susluvsyoo]

that was awesome!!

[abcdefg5005]

John 3:16

[Derrtaydoitbigg252]

It was good until the whole association with the US came in the vid... sorry-

[erty1800]

the Crusifixion is sad

[HoldMyHeartt]

Awesome video, gave me the chills the entire song. Thank you God for sending your son and saving us when we didn't even deserve it!

[upwards11]

bobbuiltit-when you accept Christ as your Savior, you are saved. period. It is our realtionship with Him that is renued daily, but salvation takes place once and is final. You don't have to keep "working" at it. The Bible says it is a free gift, not of works lest any man boast.

[arie566]

@upwards11- Well you are partly right you don't get to heaven on just good deeds, neither do you get to heaven on asking Jesus into our hearts and go back to lying, killing ,falsly accusing and still make it into heaven. So we need to repent daily and seek God's face and turn from our wicked ways. John 15 talks about remaining in the vine in other words if we accept Jesus and continue in sin then your branch will be cut off and thrown into the fire.

[Cheerwizsinger]

everytime i listen to this song... i get tears in my eyes. this song is too beautiful to even listen to it! God bless Casting Crowns!

[AmericanApex]

@Cheerwizsinger heres another good one, this one gets me everytime...

youtube(.)com/watch?v=_YqHGFtn­MOI

[thelizatron]

very nice video. glory to God and praise Him who created us!! God is just so amazing and He adores us.. and that blows me away. Thank you Jesus!!!!!!

[Cheerwizsinger]

@thelizatron AMEN!

[jobik]

Nicely done, God bless you!

[lupin231]

very nice video you made

[leannenannette]

The video clips and pictures are perfect for this song. Wonderful job!

[trimethyl]

I'm so touched by this song...and the video.

[bobbuiltit]

The truth is so sad. So many lie sleeping, and deny the Lord's glory a chance to pour out over them. It brings me to tears to know it. I pray for an outpouring of God's spirit.

[arie566]

You are so right, its so sad that there are people out there that are asleep. All christians should pray for salvation for those who are sleeping, for the children being abused and other stuff.

[bobbuiltit]

That is very true, and thank you for your reply. It is sad to see so many unsaved and lost souls wandering about. What is worse yet, are the many lost souls in our churches. So many that think they are saved, as if asking Christ into their heart were like a Flu shot. Salvation doesn't take place in a couple of minutes, it is through repentance daily, and continually seeking the Lord. Please pray for each all lost souls, especially the forgotten at church. God bless.

[brit8982]

An Awesome Video you created matched perfectly I Liked it alot!!

I Have a question thow what movie is the rapture scenes from I curious? 5 stars!!

[MexicanDoctorJ]

Awesome vid...gave me chills....

[TheChristianFish]

A truely AWESOME music video! I give it 10 stars out of 5!

[mrantisocialguy]

WONDERFUL!!!

[fanoffrench]

this is a very powerful music video with an amazing song. even though I AM CANADIAN, i like it

[Guitargamer91]

that was AWESOME!

[gatormom2009]

WOW!! This video was great, I cried, I prayed and I rejoiced. Totally awesome..

[lovingspirit09]

This left me in tears and with chills through out my body

[buzz1002lightyear]

What an incredible job of video editing! It is obvious that much time was spend matching video to the lyrics of the song. Congratulations on a professional video presentation!

[Jericokaty]

Love it wish someone could tell me how to make video's

[superrhino100]

There is a program called "pinnacle" that sells at best buy for around $100 and is awesome for editing and making videos!!

[RubberDucky1971]

I like this song and video a lot! You did an amazing job with it. Keep up the good work.

[tesserbby]

i love this song<3

[MexicanDoctorJ]

Best song by Casting Crowns...one of the greatest Christian songs of all time...

[windasafriend]

@krienkeb - I agree with you, even though "disgust" is a pretty strong word, but thanks for the post!!!

Can anybody explain what the last verse means, "There's a shout heard across the Eastern sky - For the Bridegroom has returned - and has carried His bride away"? Thank you :-)

[MexicanDoctorJ]

In the Bible, there is an analogy of the church as the bride and Jesus as the bridegroom. When Jesus returns, it is as if he is "marrying" the church, in other words, we will be with him adn see him. It is kinda confusing if you dont understand what its all about. So when its says "For the Bridegroom has returned" it is saying that Jesus has come again.

[ColoGrl67]

It's talking about Christ's return and how he will take those who have accepted him as their Lord and Savior away with him....

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

(1 Thessalonians 4: 16,17)

[superrhino100]

That's an awesome verse that you posted here...It's very cool to see other Christians are really out there!!

[krienkeb]

That is what is so upsetting. I agree help people. No disagreeing with that statement, but this song does put a steep comparison between saving the environment while letting our children die, and that point is what disgusted me.

[rnwlb02]

it's pointing a finger at tree huggers and abortion. Hope that helps clarify a bit. It's implying that our priorities are out of whack; more focused on "the world" and not His ways of living.

[krienkeb]

I know exactly what it means; hence all of my previous comments. Your priorities may be out of whack, but you don't speak for me. So what finger is there to point at a "tree hugger" as you call them? People who care about the environment.

[ILGOPNETdotcom]

Not care about the environment. But worship it. There are those that worship the Earth but not the one who created it. You probably are not one of those kind of people but be careful what you make your Idol.

[krienkeb]

we need to conserve and protect what God gave us. The environment and life are synonymous not separate. aasslt503 had a good point. We do need to help ourselves, and I think people can feel sorry for an animal is because the animal's condition is most likely something we created, but we also create conditions that exploit and endanger our fellow man. I didn't want to go down the animal path as in pets. Our environment would be in a perfect equilibrium if it was not for our intervention. ...

[krienkeb]

To me that is a very naive viewpoint. Is Jesus going to come? Yes of course, but until that time, we need to focus on taking care of our world for generation after generation to come. The world is God's creation also. Now, a key point. We let our environment go, we let our food supply go, more people starve, and there will be more wars over our precious resources. Including water, etc. It is a fact that we cannot feed this world as it is, and it is only getting worse. That is why...next post

[Krmy324]

I agree with you. God call us to take care of the environment. And I think the reason for that is so that it will be here for the children. We protect it to protect them. The reason I think they use "save a tree" is because it is a fad to go "green". And I am not saying that is not good, it is, but I believe our nation is hiding behind that. We don't want to deal with the ugly truth of the orphans, child soldiers, children starving, and child sex slaves.

[Krmy324]

The ugly truth is that there are children, in America and around the world who are dieing horrible deaths everyday. We don't want to face that ugly truth, so we do really really important, good things, but stay in our bubble. Casting Crowns writes songs that challenge us and they intend to put us out of our comfort level.

[Donna59m]

Why can't people just enjoy the message in this song without being so touchy about the enviroment. It is not about that at all. It's about waking up to the MOST important thing of all & that is being aware of what Jesus came here for & being aware that he is COMING again soon! Wake up & spread the word. He's coming again soon & we will be gone & the world will be left. This is not our permanent home. WAKE UP!

[theunleavened]

This is a beautiful and powerful song. It is good to speak out as a voice for the Lord no matter what groups might be upset. I don't think it was a hit to enviornmentalist as much as it was a meassage to America as a whole, but I would aim it to christains also, more than anyone else. If we were living our lives as Jesus lived his life the children would not be forgotten and the enviornment would be in a better condition. America and Christains will you make room for our Bridegroom, our King.

[krienkeb]

Environmentalists are not baby killers. We just stand for protection and not exploitation of our environment.

[aasslt503inf]

In my opinion they weren't comparing the two, or attacking environmentalists. They were merely pointing out the ideology many Americans hold. Too often we are more concerned with saving a dog, rather than a child. A perfect example of this I personally witnessed was when I took a trip to New York City. Two booths were set up: one for a homeless organization (Salvation Army perhaps), the other for ASPCA. Needless to say, far more people were concerned with animals, than helping a human life.

[aasslt503inf]

Perhaps if we were more concerned with helping another human being, as opposed to saving a tree or an animal, more good would be done in this world. Instead, we choose to overlook those who are in need of help, and salvation, and concentrate on things that were created for our benefit. Now, i'm not saying that saving wildlife, and the environment isn't important. I acknowledge that it is VERY important. But let's focus on helping those whom Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to save first.

[MsYellow2222]

@krienkeb Grow up worship the creator instead of the creation that he made

[krienkeb]

Plus, taking care of our environment is protecting God's creation. This is a horrible comparison that I wish they would revise. There is no comparison that says science says kill our children, as is implied with the ape reference. There is also a major difference in evolution and natural selection when compared to evolution from apes.

[krienkeb]

Why does this song attack environmental consciousness. By turning a blind eye to our environment, and continue to destroy it, we all promote death to our future generations.

[fratsior]

when we supose to wake up?

[bizair20]

I like it, although you put modern pre-mill theology in it, whether you knew that or not, I don't know....but it was good, most people wouldn't pick up on that though

[gastromin]

absolutely beautiful we wuill be singing this song at our big christmeas festival this year and the video has given us some great ideas on what to do on stage Thanks

[chrisman090]

i think we are going to do this song for our youth group, better yet we will do it. thanks for the wonderfull video. =]

[hisangelindisguise]

[otteydw]

I have loved this song - but your video does it wonders! Awesome!

[asessums123456789]

I really thin Jesus will return in our lifetime

[WhAtSuP5633]

I love this song. You did a really good job with the video. Really amazing

[randomanna1]

Wow. Awesome video. Really eye-opening. It reminds me of a great movie called Time Changer. It is a Christian movie about a man from 1890 who gets transported into modern civilization. He is wowed by both the technololgy and the lack of respect for the Lord. Good movie. Funny and convicting.

[samovalles]

Thanks for posting that, you got me curious to watch, I'm going to look it up!

[volleyballgirl315]

This was so beautiful. It gave me goose bumps. The message is fantastic and it was a beautiful video. I don't know how to put into words this song sometimes. It is truely...magnificent.

[animewarrior08]

words cannot describe how awesome and toching this video is. Awesome work

[olikandy]

I love this video. Great job!!! God bless everybody and you for posting this video so wonderfully made. This video is about the act of love that God made for us and comparing the times when Jesus lived and the times from now. Are we will sleeping?

[BrettMeatloaf14]

This is a ROCKIN' VID!!!!!!!! one of the best

[ClarkchickinDC]

just wow indeed

[tigress807]

Hey, The vid was one o the best things i have ever seen. I was wondering if i could get a copy of the vid from you so i could use for when i sing the song a few weeks from now?

[wgallison]

Wow! Great job on putting the video together and great song choice. It's definitely an eye opener. Especially when it gets to the part talking about America and it shows all these things in America that is so messed up. Keep up the good work serveing God with this. Hope there will be more!!!

[jlong313]

Great video! This video had a tremendous impact, wish everyone could see this video. Praise God for the truth!

[joey0wilson]

Very nice, touching, seamless...

[angelique003m]

1.5 billon dollar bailout for abortion! no joke.

[phobic182]

This was beautiful. Thank you!

[LiveLaughLlamas]

sooo touching

[tiogawoman]

I loved your video! POWERFUL! STRONG MESSAGE! I am directing a christmas program and I was wondering if there was any way I could get a dvd copy for my program?

Thanks so much.

[just2worshipjc]

This Video is Awesome! I am planning on Singing this song on Christmas Eve in our church and I would love to add this video to it. Is there any way I could get a copy of it from you to use at church? I would really appreciate it! Thanks & God Bless

[sbgoth]

Casting crowns not only sing incredable songs praising God but they also teach at thier concerts. They are an awesome instrument that God uses and they follow. We can all learn from thier example, and also praise thier use of God given talents.

[RobAC65]

i sing this song alot at our church.. love it

[nmenjivar]

Excellent Job! I think you can see from your comments that many think you really do have a talent. I'll look for more good stuff from you. In today's video society we need to use the talent God gives us to counter the visual attacks of enemy with the light of the Lord. Blessings to you.

[dogstar4ogd]

i'd forgotten how much i love this song

[beondhuman]

i love the use of 2 great movies.

[ESW367]

I heard this song during our church's Christmas eve service and the lyrics haunted me ("While we're sung to sleep by philosophies that save the trees but kill the children"). When I found out who sang it and got the disc, I must've played this song 20 times one morning. Heed the words and Live according to the Word.

[DarkCordray]

I get chills everytime I hear this song.

[redrosephantom05]

Every time I hear/watch this song I get chills up and down my spine. It is so true. America, what will you miss while you are sleeping?

[sherrysincere]

Wonderful song reminding us what Lord Jesus endured to save us

[k35004x4]

FANTASTIC !!!!

[BeldansFire]

This is L33t!!!

[RedeemedByGodsLove]

Do any of you know what capture device would be really good? I'm making a passion music video for my church and I bought a capture device, but it's not that good. Do any of you have a suggestion?

[dambacher94]

this is soooo good. god bless you!!

[joshdamons]

nice... keep it up and you'll be even better!

[chrizelse]

Excellent job with this video!

I'm a pastor in Costa Rica. Is there any way you can send it to me? I'd love the young people to see it!

Thanks

[soccer4aliving]

i sang this song at church and i didnt really listen to the lyrics until now GREAT job on the video i thought this was the real music video for the great song! great job keep on makin more videos

[Mouser423]

I really enjoyed watching this video, is there any way that I can get a copy to use with our youth group at church. We will give you credit for the video. Thanks

[coltsgirl911]

i cry everytime i listen 2 this song! it is soooo sad that God sent his one and only son 4 US and now days we could careless! If u look on the song "Strong Tower" by Kutless some one says they luved them until they found out wat they were for and they said God was a myth! i just shook my head and got off the computer. i say all this to wrap it up with, some are so clueless but God STILL loves them! it blows my mind how wonderful, understanding, and loving God truely is!

[adytastoica]

isus sa binecuvinteze pe cei in nevoi si prigoniti.JESUS BLESS YOU.

[aok123]

You have a great talent that you are using for His glory! Kudos to you for doing what is right!

[Upsilon1982]

Peace to the world. Wonderful video. Fantastic detail at 04:44.

[jesuslove1135]

BTW great job on the video

[jesuslove1135]

This song is so amazing it speaks to me so much

[noname1052]

Hab. 1:5

[dsdeich]

[oceanskiies]

Beautifully done. I was very blessed by your video. God Bless.

[TheTalon0000]

amazing

[sakurachick1432]

it's very moving, i love it! It really shows what Jesus did for us!

[1ForJesus2]

I would Love a copy of this to use in my church. The video you have put together creates a very powerful impact with these lyrics. I really love it, it moved me deeply. I already loved the song. Great job keep up the good work. We need more things like this to inspire us to good works, and a deeper closer relationship with Jesus.

[nancybethea]

I like the strong message in this video. I live in a place that most people in our churches would condemn this video and they call themselves Christians. But in the world we live in it takes drastic measures sometimes to relay the message. Good Job. This was a great Video!! God Bless You for the work you are doing.

[ILoveJesusForever89]

As We're Sung To Sleep

That Save The Trees

Amazing Lyrics.

These Guys Are So Awesome.

God Bless,

Ash.

[BrownEyedLoverGirl]

awesome

[preacher2be]

i saw the passion of christ but not the nitivity story and every time you see what jesus took for you and me it says.... well when i sin or do wrong in the lord am i putting jesus back on that cross so that is some thing to think about as to how we treat jesus about what he did for us.

[babyboxer101]

Awsome Movie, I loved it.

[thecumbee]

Hey thanks!
