#109 - Higher Ground

I'm pressing on the upward way, New heights I'm gaining everyday; Still praying as I onward bound, "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."

My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Tho' some may dwell where these abound, My prayer, my aim is higher ground.

I want to live above the world, 'Tho Satan's darts at me are hurled; For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground.

I want to scale the utmost height, And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I'll pray til heav'n I've found, "Lord, lead me on to higher ground."

Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on heaven's table land, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
