Verse:
There are days I get discouraged in this world of pain and woe
There are times that I forget that this is really not my home
But I try to view the valleys as just builders of my Faith
And I set my sights on higher things and I am not afraid

Chorus:
I'm climbing up the mountain but I do not climb alone
There's a world of fellow travelers all around to cheer me on
Step by step I'm more determined I will make it all the way
I'm climbing up the mountain and I'll reach the top someday

Verse:
I can feel the thrill of mercy with each heartache that I face
For the harder that I climb is the sweeter victory tastes
And although my feet are weary and my back is aching so
I can hear the saints all cheering
Just a few more miles to go
