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.” Refrain ~ 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. Verse 2 ~ My heart has no desire to stay      Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where those 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.”
