Higher Ground

5 verses · With chorus

Verse 1

I'm pressing on the upward way, New heights I'm gaining ev'ry day; Still praying as I 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; Where love, and joy, and light abound, 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 constant aim is higher ground.

Verse 3

Beyond the mist I fain would rise, To rest beneath unclouded skies, Above earth's turmoil peace is found, By those who dwell on higher ground.

Verse 4

I long to scale the utmost height, Though rough the way, and hard the fight, My song, while climbing, shall resound, Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

Verse 5

Lord, lead me up the mountain side, I dare not climb without my Guide; And, heaven gained, I'll gaze around, With grateful heart from higher ground.
