I'm pressing on the upward way,
new heights I'm gaining every day.
Still praying as I onward bound,
Lord plant my feet on higher ground.
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
My heart has no desire to stay,
where doubts arise and fears dismay,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
Lord, lift me up and let me stand
By faith on heaven's table land
A higher plane than I have found
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, lead me on to higher ground
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.
