1 verse:
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 plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground!
2 verse:
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!
3 verse:
I want to live above the world,
Though Satan's darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught a joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground!
4 verse:
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!"
