Jacob's Ladder Song LYRICS
(you might like to watch through once and then turn on closed captioning and watch again to learn the lyrics)

Now Jacob was traveling toward Haran, And he came to a certain place when night began,And he used a stone to pillow his head,And he laid down to sleep on a grassy bed.Chorus (repeat):The angels went up, up, up,The angels went down, down, down,On the ladder to heaven in Jacob's dream.Now the Lord was speaking in Jacob's dream,"I am the Lord, the God of Abraham!Behold I am with you wherever you go.""The Lord was in this place and I did not know!"Chorus (repeat)

Now Jacob was traveling toward Haran,
And he came to a certain place when night began,
And he used a stone to pillow his head,
And he laid down to sleep on a grassy bed.

Chorus (repeat):
The angels went up, up, up,
The angels went down, down, down,
On the ladder to heaven in Jacob’s dream.

Now the Lord was speaking in Jacob’s dream,
“I am the Lord, the God of Abraham!
Behold I am with you wherever you go.”
“The Lord was in this place and I did not know!”
Chorus (repeat)
