Jennifer Knapp - Visions Lyrics

I think about the waves of time
And how they roll across my shoulders
Thinking no clock is gonna get the best of me
Minutes threaten through the years
To carve wrinkles with my tears
Across the face with straining eyes to see...

They're looking for the peace that passes all understanding
In a world crazed with fear
They say that I am much to demanding
To want a better place than here
So I'll go unto visions of the prophets claim to me
And I'll dream of Heaven the promise in which I believe

Outside are dogs and scoffers
Well they mock my very soul
They try to steal the joy of that Promise I own
But I will not be shaken from the rock that clings to me
I have searched the world and found there's one thing I need
It's a

It's a peace that passes all understanding
In a world crazed with fear
They say that I am much too demanding
To want a better place than here
So I'll go unto visions of the prophets claim to me
And I'll dream of Heaven the promise in which I believe

Was made by the Father
Sealed by the blood
With the promise of spirit
My victory is won

Won't no lion catch me sleeping
No not in the darkest night
Can I say the same for you
Can you hear him creeping
Oh, he's got you in his sight
What are we to do

The world is my Jordan
Someday I'm going to cross
Ain't know I'm going to to look
And say this soul is lost
So I do my best
Try to tell all the rest
When the lion roars
I'm going to hide behind the cross

Cause it's a peace that passes all understanding
In a world crazed with fear
They say that I am much too demanding
To want a better place than here
So I'll go unto visions of the prophets claim to me
And I'll dream of Heaven the promise in which I believe
