Standing, watching the heavens at evening,
Watching the day that is leaving the sky to the stars; how they shine,
Fixing my eyes on the brightest,
Setting my heart on the highest of lights in the sky, how he shines.
There, at the throne of God,
Reaching to all the Earth below,
Where he is, I can go.
Climbing, climbing the ladder he gave me,
Yes, I'm climbing, rising to be just like him,
And I'm finding that, brighter and brighter, he's shining as, higher and higher, I'm climbing the ladder he raised,
Climbing the ladder he gave.
Vision - without it people will perish,
Without a hope we can cherish, we just can't go on; we will fall,
But there's a vision in our hearts,
We have the light of the day star to draw us to him; how he shines,
He is the glory of God,
He is the light of the world below,
Where he is, we can go.
Climbing, climbing the ladder he gave me,
Yes, I'm climbing, rising to be just like him,
And I'm finding that, brighter and brighter, he's shining as, higher and higher, I'm climbing the ladder he raised,
Climbing the ladder he gave.
Climbing the ladder he raised,
Climbing the ladder he gave,
Climbing the ladder he raised,
Climbing the ladder he gave,
Climbing the ladder he raised,
Climbing the ladder he gave,
