HIGHER GROUND

Am 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;
Tho’ some may dwell
where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a glimpse of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.
