Higher Ground

1. 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.”

Refrain:

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.

2. My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;

Though some may dwell where those abound

My prayer

my aim

is higher ground.

3. 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.

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

plant my feet on higher ground.”
