I started on this journey,
seems like a long time ago,
I thought it would be easy,
Lord, Lord, Lord,
I did not know.
But I'm holding my position
'til it's safe for me to climb.
(I've got a home over the mountain),
(and I must get there on time).

Chorus

I'll keep climbing up the mountain
and I'll make it round by round.
I'll let nothing block me,
I am surely heaven bound.
But I'm holding my position
'til it's safe for me to climb.
(I've got a home over the mountain),
(and I must get there on time).

When traveling days are over,
I'll take my rest over there.
I'm living for that morning
when I see that land so fair.
I'll keep holding my position
'til it's safe for me to climb.
(I've got a home over the mountain),
(and I must get there on time).

Chorus
