Higher Ground
A D
I’m pressing on the upward way,
A E7
New heights I’m gaining every day;
A D
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
A E7 A
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Chorus:
A E7
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
A
By faith, on heaven’s table land,
D
A higher plane than I have found;
A E7 A
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 prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
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.”
Chorus
