Lyrics

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
