625   Higher Ground




[1]
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."

[C]
Lord lift me up and I shall stand
By faith on heaven s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord plant my feet on higher ground.

[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.

[C]
Lord lift me up and I shall stand
By faith on heaven s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord plant my feet on higher ground.

[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.

[C]
Lord lift me up and I shall stand
By faith on heaven s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord plant my feet on higher ground.

[4]
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."

[C]
Lord lift me up and I shall stand
By faith on heaven s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord plant my feet on higher ground.
