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.
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.
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.
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, Plant My Feet On Higher Ground.”
