Higher Ground
G C G D7
1) I’m pressing on the upward way, New heights I’m gaining every day;
G C G D7 G
Still praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Chorus: G D7
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
G
By faith, on heaven’s tableland
C
A higher plane than I have found;
G D7 G
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
G C G D7
2) My heart has no desire to stay, Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
G C G D7 G
Though some may dwell where those abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
Chorus:
G C G D7
3) I want to live above the world, Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
G C G D7 G
For faith has caught the joyful sound, The song of saints on higher ground.
Chorus:
G C G D7
4) I want to scale the utmost height; And catch a gleam of glory bright;
G C G D7 G
But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
