I
see a golden
stairway, Lord,
it's leading to Your
throne.
I'm needing so to
touch You, Lord.
Down here I'm so
alone.
I climb a step, then
take two back,
and try to start
again.
Still, Satan tries
to pull me down
And, fill my life
with sin.
Each day I think I'm
nearer You.
Each day I climb
some more.
But, then the
darkness comes about
and I fall to the
floor.
I know You're there
beyond the shadows.
Yes, I know there is
a light.
I'm striving, Lord,
I'm pressing on.
I'm climbing day and
night.
How far on, Oh,
where the end,
To Heaven's open
door?
I know I must keep
striving, Lord,
To reach Your golden
shore.
I picture in my
wretched mind,
Beyond that open
door,
A city filled with
only love,
Seems my world can't
afford.
I'm gaining, Lord,
but oh I need,
To climb another
stair.
I must get
through these
obstacles
That's keeping me
from there.
I must have faith, I
know I do,
Because I've come so
far.
But, Satan sure has
wounded me
And, left me full of
scars.
But, I can't give
up. The prize is
mine-
beyond that special
door.
Although I may be
crawling, Lord,
I'll soon have my
reward.
It's been so long,
the "Time"
that is.
It seems it will not
cease.
How much farther do
I have
To reach that land
of peace?
I hear the music
playing, Lord.
Is that a golden
bell that rings?
I see the light
shine through the
door.
I hear the angels
sing.
I feel a smile upon
my face,
A tear run down my
cheek.
I've reached the
top, I've found the
door
And, it don't even
squeak.
Lord, what a place
so beautiful!
Oh, I see my mansion
there.
But, "Jesus"
You're the reason
that
I've climbed each
golden stair.
