CLIMBING

Step by step we're climbing upward
Toward the Lord's great judgment day,
Rich and poor we'll stand before Him
Awaiting what He has to say.
Gold and silver will not matter,
Works we've done will not avail,
Knowing Jesus is the secret,
Of whether we shall pass or fail.
In the book of life is written
All the names of those redeemed-
Those who served Him on the climb
And His righteousness esteemed.
Prayer it takes to make the journey
To the top step of the stair
Blessed Saviour, then we'll see Him
As He waits to greet us there.
Heaven's door will open to us,
Mansions promised we will see,
O, to hear Thy words of welcome
Keep us climbing Lord, to Thee.
