Climbing Higher and Higher
Once I was sinkin' in sin, my soul was troubled within.
A ladder was sent down from Heaven, after my sins were forgiven.
Started out for higher ground, we climbed the ladder round by round.
Well, I'm climbin' higher and higher
higher and I won't come down.
The first round was regeneration.
Still climbin'.
The second, justification.
Still climbin'.
The third a happy confession, and then the Holy Ghost took possession.
Still climbin'.
The next round was great tribulation.
Still climbin'.
That leads your soul to glorification
Still climbin'.
Well I'm climbin' higher and higher and I won't come down
I'm gonna climb till I pass the sun, moon, and stars.
Jupiter, Venus, Neptune, and Mars.
I'll bid farewell to this ol' house of clay and then I'll go runnin' up the milky white way.
First Heaven, I'm climbin' round by round.
Second Heaven, climbin' so hight I'll never come down.
Oh Lord, still climbin' round by round.
I'm climbin' for higher ground.
Well, well, well, well.
I'm gonna climb till I pass the sun, moon, and stars.
Jupiter, Venus, Neptune, and Mars.
I'll bid farewell to this ol' house of clay and then I'll go runnin' up the milky white way.
First Heaven, I'm climbin' round by round.
Second Heaven, climbin' so hight I'll never come down.
Oh Lord, still climbin' round by round.
I'm climbin' for higher ground.
A ladder was sent down from Heaven, after my sins were forgiven.
Started out for higher ground, we climbed the ladder round by round.
Well, I'm climbin' higher and higher
higher and I won't come down.
The first round was regeneration.
Still climbin'.
The second, justification.
Still climbin'.
The third a happy confession, and then the Holy Ghost took possession.
Still climbin'.
The next round was great tribulation.
Still climbin'.
That leads your soul to glorification
Still climbin'.
Well I'm climbin' higher and higher and I won't come down
I'm gonna climb till I pass the sun, moon, and stars.
Jupiter, Venus, Neptune, and Mars.
I'll bid farewell to this ol' house of clay and then I'll go runnin' up the milky white way.
First Heaven, I'm climbin' round by round.
Second Heaven, climbin' so hight I'll never come down.
Oh Lord, still climbin' round by round.
I'm climbin' for higher ground.
Well, well, well, well.
I'm gonna climb till I pass the sun, moon, and stars.
Jupiter, Venus, Neptune, and Mars.
I'll bid farewell to this ol' house of clay and then I'll go runnin' up the milky white way.
First Heaven, I'm climbin' round by round.
Second Heaven, climbin' so hight I'll never come down.
Oh Lord, still climbin' round by round.
I'm climbin' for higher ground.
