[Chorus]
G
They're holding up the ladder that I'm climbing on
D7 C G
I'm climbing up the ladder and I'm going home
At the top of the ladder O what joy there shall be
D7 C G
And the angels are holding up this ladder for me
[Verse 1]
As I climb this gospel ladder always heeding every sign
D7 C G
I know my Savior's with me and He's teaching me to climb
Every day that I'm climbing there's a battle for me
D7 C G
Every step on this ladder is another victory
[Chorus]
G
They're holding up the ladder that I'm climbing on
D7 C G
I'm climbing up the ladder and I'm going home
At the top of the ladder O what joy there shall be
D7 C G
And the angels are holding up this ladder for me
[Verse 2]
There's a mansion being built for me somewhere in Gloryland
D7 C G
And this ladder that I'm climbing is a part of His plan
I can hear the angels beckoning and the climbing don't stop
D7 C G
There's a crown of life awaiting for you when you reach the top
[Chorus]
G
They're holding up the ladder that I'm climbing on
D7 C G
I'm climbing up the ladder and I'm going home
At the top of the ladder O what joy there shall be
D7 C G
And the angels are holding up this ladder for me
[Verse 3]
Come on you Christian Soldiers show the world your light can shine
D7 C G
Get on this gospel ladder and don't be afraid to climb
Can't you hear the angels cheering soon the battle will be o'er
D7 C G
And we'll celebrate the victory when we reach that other shore
[Chorus]
G
They're holding up the ladder that I'm climbing on
D7 C G
I'm climbing up the ladder and I'm going home
At the top of the ladder O what joy there shall be
D7 C G
And the angels are holding up this ladder for me
G
They're holding up the ladder that I'm climbing on
D7 C G
I'm climbing up the ladder and I'm going home
At the top of the ladder O what joy there shall be
D7 C G
And the angels are holding up this ladder for me
