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 beaten 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 claim to me
and i'll dream of HEAVEN
the PROMiSE in which i believe
outside are dogs and scoffers
who mock my very soul
they steal the joy of the promise i own
but i will not be shaken from the rock that cleaves me
i have 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 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 sleepin'
no, not the darkest night
can i say the same for you?
can you hear him creepin'?
he's got you in his sights
o, what are we to do?
all the world is my Jordan
someday i'm gonna CROSS
ain't no one gonna look and say MY SOUL iS LOST
so i'll do my BEST
try to tell all the rest
and when the lion roars
i'm gonna hide behind the CROSS!
cause 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 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
