lyrics

I’m pressing on, the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying, as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground”.

Chorus
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!

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

~~~ Chorus ~~~

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

~~~ Chorus ~~~

I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a gleam of glory bright.
But still I’ll pray, ‘till heaven I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground”!

~~~ Chorus ~~~
