Verse 1
I'm pressing on the upward way New heights I'm gaining everyday 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 table land A higher plane 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 the glimpse of glory bright But still I'll pray till heaven I've found Lord lead me on to higher ground
