I'M BUILDING A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN (The Joe Isaacs Family)
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: I'M BUILDING A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
I'M BUILDING A STEP AT A TIME
I'M NEVER MORE HAPPY THAN WHEN I AM WORKING
AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE ON MY MIND
I'M BUILDING A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
BUT I'M GETTING CLOSER EACH DAY
I NEVER DOUBT IT
IN FACT I CAN SHOUT IT
FOR JESUS WILL MEET ME HALFWAY

CHORUS: I'M BUILDING-BUILDING-BUILDING-BUILDING
I'M BUILDING A STEP EVERY DAY
I'M BUILDING-BUILDING A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
AND JESUS WILL MEET ME HALFWAY

VERSE 2: I'M BUILDING A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
IT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION TODAY
THE BLUEPRINT IS BLESSED AND I'M CERTAIN
THAT NOTHING WILL STAND IN MY WAY
I'M BUILDING A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
THE FOUNDATION SITS ON A ROCK
I'LL NEVER LOOK DOWN
AND I WON'T TURN AROUND
I'LL WORK 'TIL HE TELLS ME TO STOP

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: I'M BUILDING A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
I'M BUILDING WITH PRAISES AND SONGS
I'M BUILDING WITH HOPE AND I'M BUILDING WITH FAITH
AND I KNOW THE STEPS WILL BE STRONG
I'M BUILDING A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
THE CARPENTER SHOWED ME THE WAY
THREE NAILS AND A CROSS
IS ALL OF THE COST
AND JESUS HAS ALREADY PAID

REPEAT CHORUS
