They're holding up the ladder that I'm climbing on
I'm climbing up the ladder and I'm going home
At the top of the ladder Oh what joy there shall be
And the angels are holding up this ladder for me

As I climb this gospel ladder always heeding every sign
I know my Savior's with me and he's teaching me to climb
Every day that I am climbing there's a battle for me
Every step on this ladder is another victory

They're holding up the ladder that I'm climbing on
I'm climbing up the ladder and I'm going home
At the top of the ladder Oh what joy there shall be
And the angels are holding up this ladder for me

There's a mansion being built for me somewhere in Gloryland
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
There's a crown of life awaiting for you when you reach the top

They're holding up the ladder that I'm climbing on
I'm climbing up the ladder and I'm going home
At the top of the ladder Oh what joy there shall be
And the angels are holding up this ladder for me

Come on you Christian Soldiers show the world your light to shine
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
And we'll celebrate the victory when we reach that other shore

They're holding up the ladder that I'm climbing on
I'm climbing up the ladder and I'm going home
At the top of the ladder Oh what joy there shall be
And the angels are holding up this ladder for me

They're holding up the ladder that I'm climbing on
I'm climbing up the ladder and I'm going home
At the top of the ladder, Oh what joy there shall be
And the angels are holding up this ladder for me
