I'm pressing on the upward way
New heights I'm gaining everyday
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
Where love and joy and light abound
Lord plant my feet on higher ground
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
..
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
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
.
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
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
.
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
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
.
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
