I think about the waves of time   And how they roll across my shoulders   Thinkin' 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 too demanding   To want a better place than here      So I'll go unto visions   The Prophets gave 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 cleaves to me   I've searched the world and found there's one thing I need      It's the 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   The Prophets gave 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 sleepin'?   No, not on the darkest night   Can I say the same for you?      Oh, can you hear him creeping?   Oh, he's got you in his sights   Oh, what are we to do?      Oh, the world is my Jordan   Someday I'm gonna cross   Ain't no one gonna look and say this soul is lost      So I'll do my best, try to tell all the rest   When the lion roars, I'm gonna hide behind the cross   Because it's the      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   The Prophets gave to me   And I'll dream of Heaven   The promise in which I believe
