Verse 1: I’m pressing on the upward way; new heights I’m gaining every day; still praying as I’m onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Verse 2: My heart has no desire to stay where doubts arise and fears dismay; tho’ some may dwell where these abound, my prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
Verse 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.
Verse 4: I want to scale the utmost height and catch a gleam of glory bright; but still I’ll pray till Heav’n I’ve found, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
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.
