Visions Lyrics

Jennifer Knapp Visions

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
