Higher Ground

Verse 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

Chorus
Lord lift me up
And let me stand
By faith
On heaven's tableland
A higher plain
Than I have found
Lord plant my feet
On higher ground

Verse 2
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

Verse 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

Verse 4
I want to scale
The utmost height
And catch a gleam
Of glory bright
But still I'll pray
'Til heaven I've found
Lord lead me on
To higher ground
