I try to forget the pain The failures that fall like rain My past is clouded by storm Just hoping to transform I scaled the mountains high For meaning, for purpose…but why? The money, the power and fame There’s no satisfaction to gain [chorus] Oh I dream of a heavenly place To find peace and nothing but grace Where I’m cleansed from the stain of my sin Who is worthy…. my salvation to win? This heart seems hard as stone Like nothing can atone Death will come calling me What’s the price to set man free? Empty and feeling alone I cried out to heaven’s throne To Him who is greater than I His response….Someone must die [chorus] Oh I dream of a heavenly place To find peace and nothing but grace Where I’m cleansed from the stain of my sin Who is worthy….my salvation to win? I trembled with fear at His word The wages my sin had incurred No hope that my works would respite The angel of death on that night That’s when the flowers appeared Round the door of my heart blood was smeared It wasn’t my will or by deed That applied His blood over me The Passover Lamb had taken my place His blood shed for me so I could find grace I thank you Lord Jesus for dying for me And applying your blood so that man could be free [chorus] Oh I dream of a heavenly place To find peace and nothing but grace Where I’m cleansed from the stain of my sin He was worthy…..our salvation to win
