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" Lord, lift me up, and I will 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 these abound, My prayer, my aim is higher ground Lord, lift me up, and I will 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, lead me on to higher ground Lord, lift me up, and I will stand By faith, on heaven's tableland; A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground
