Visions Lyrics - Kansas - Jennifer Knapp

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
