Higher Ground

I'm pressing on the upward way
New heights I'm gaining every day
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
Though some may dwell where those abound
You see, 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 a joyful sound
Oh, the song of saints up on higher ground

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on heaven's tableland
A higher plane than I have found
Oh, plant my feet on higher ground
Plant my feet on higher ground

Oh, lift me up, oh, let me stand
By faith on heaven's tableland
A higher plane than I have found
Plant my feet on higher ground
Plant my feet on higher ground

Plant my feet on higher
Plant my feet on higher
Plant my feet on higher ground
Plant me on higher ground
Higher ground
