Higher Ground

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

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

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

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

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

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

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, plant my feet on higher ground
