Lyrics
Verse 1
I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining ev’ry day; Still praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Lord
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
I want to scale the utmost height, And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found, “Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”
Chorus
Lord, lift me Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on heaven’s tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
