Higher Ground

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???
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.
2. 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.
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.
4. I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I??? ll pray till heav??? n I??? ve found,
???Lord, plant my feet on higher ground???
