Ain't a Ladder Tall Enough

There’s a lotta folks out here buildin’ stairways in the dark

Stackin’ up good deeds, hopin’ they’ll reach God’s heart

You can’t buy your way with a Sunday suit and a check in a plate

Can’t white-knuckle sin tryin’ to muscle through the gate

We’ve all been draggin’ chains we can’t break with our own hands

Dirt on our boots, blood on our plans

You can scrub and you can pray till your knees go numb

But you can’t outrun what you’ve become

Stop swingin’ at the sky like it owes you somethin’ back

You’re chasin’ down a mercy you ain’t strong enough to track

There ain’t a ladder tall enough, ain’t a price you can pay

Ain’t a road you can walk that’ll earn you that day

You can’t work your way to heaven, can’t make yourself clean

We were buried in a debt we’d never redeem

The miracle wasn’t us gettin’ strong

It was God sendin’ love when we’d done Him wrong

He made a way through the nails and the blood

So stop blamin’ God when life gets rough

Yeah, storms roll in and the good die young

And we shake our fists when the hurt comes

But the cross wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t fair

It was grace hangin’ heavy in the air

He stepped into the wreck we made

Took the weight that justice laid

We couldn’t crawl out from under that stone

So He moved it Himself alone

Quit sayin’ Heaven’s cruel when this world falls apart

The only perfect Man gave up His heart

There ain’t a ladder tall enough, ain’t a price you can pay

Ain’t a road you can walk that’ll earn you that day

You can’t work your way to heaven, can’t make yourself clean

We were buried in a debt we’d never redeem

The miracle wasn’t us gettin’ strong

It was God sendin’ love when we’d done Him wrong

He made a way through the nails and the blood

So stop blamin’ God when life gets rough

This life’s just vapor in the wind

A breath, a blink, and then it ends

We all run hard in this broken race

Every soul’s gonna taste some pain

But there’s victory waitin’ past the grave

Not by our might — but by the One who saves

There ain’t a ladder tall enough, no mountain you can climb

That’ll make you worthy in your own design

It’s faith in the One who carried the cost

Who bled and suffered on a rugged cross

We didn’t deserve it — not one of us

But He called our blame and our pride a bluff

He made a way when there was none

Through the only perfect Son

So when the thunder rolls and it feels too tough

Stop blamin’ God — He already did enough

Drop your hammer, lay your pride down

Grace ain’t earned — it’s given now

You don’t win this fight by bein’ strong

You just believe… and follow on.
