This is actually two scripture songs made into one. I originally put music to the Peter's Ladder portion, but later my friend David Boatwright put music to the Precious Promises part. I then, subsequently, put them both together. This is how it came out.

Whereby are given unto us
Exceeding great and precious promises;
That by these ye might be partakers
Of the divine nature,
Having escaped the corruption
That is in the world through lust.
Second Peter one, verse four.

And beside this, giving all diligence,

Add to your faith virtue;
And to virtue, knowledge;
And to knowledge, temperance;
And to temperance, patience;
And to temperance, patience;
And to patience, godliness;
And to godliness, brotherly kindness;
And to brotherly kindness, charity.
Second Peter, chapter one,
Verses five through seven,
Teach us what we need to know
To live happily in heaven.
