Higher Ground

Verse 1
I’m press­ing on the up­ward way, (Phil. 3:13-14)
New heights I’m gain­ing ev­ery day;
Still pray­ing as I’m on­ward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on high­er ground. (Ps. 18:33, Hab. 3:19, Ps. 61:2)

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. (Ps. 18:33, Hab. 3:19, Ps. 61:2)

Verse 2
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. (Col. 3:1-2)

Verse 3
I want to live above the world, (Col. 3:1-2)
Though Sa­tan’s darts at me are hurled; (Eph. 6:16)
For faith has caught the joy­ful sound,
The song of saints on high­er ground.

Verse 4
I want to scale the ut­most height (Isa. 40:31)
And catch a gleam of glo­ry bright; (II Cor. 3:18)
But still I’ll pray till Heav’n I’ve found,
Lord, plant my feet on high­er ground.
