         Higher Ground

         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."
        Refrain:
         Lord lift me up and let me stand
                by faith on heaven's table land;
        A higher plane that I have found;
                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.
        (Refrain)

         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."
        (Refrain)
