Climbing Toward the Light
“Climbing Toward the Light” is a hopeful Christian song about our divine potential as children of God. Although we stumble and struggle along the way, Jesus Christ’s grace can transform our failures and help us rise. Step by step, He leads us toward the light and teaches us how to become more like our Heavenly Father.
Listen
[Verse 1]
Daddy read that story By the lamp on winter nights About a King who lost his way And then he found the Light
Said, “We’re children of a Father Who’s higher than the sky He don’t just want us on our knees He wants us learning how to rise”
[Chorus]
We’re climbing toward the light Step by little step Stumbling up the mountain On promises He kept
More than dust More than broken More than what we’ve done We’re learning how to be like Him ’Cause we’re born of God’s own Son
[Verse 2]
Preacher in the pine grove Talked of glory far away But my heart burned like a campfire When I heard that humble phrase
“If He’s our living Father Then we’re meant to grow and change” Made the whole wide heaven Feel close enough to taste
[Chorus]
We’re climbing toward the light Step by little step Stumbling up the mountain On promises He kept
More than dust More than broken More than what we’ve done We’re learning how to be like Him ’Cause we’re born of God’s own Son
[Bridge]
From a cradle in a cabin Oh Lord To a crown we’ve never seen Grace keeps turning failures Into future kings and queens
If He could raise a beggar To a throne of shining days He can lift this tired heart of mine To walk His holy ways
[Chorus]
We’re climbing toward the light Step by little step Stumbling up the mountain On promises He kept
More than dust More than broken More than what we’ve done We’re learning how to be like Him ’Cause we’re born of God’s own Son
[Outro]
Yeah We’re children of the Highest Learning how to stand Hand in hand with Jesus Till we’re like our Father’s hand
