Chorus:Lord, lift me up and let me stand,By faith on heaven's tableland;A higher plane than I have found,Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
Verse 1:I'm pressing on the upward way,
New heights I'm gaining every day,
Still praying as I 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,
Tho'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 heaven I've found,
Lord, lead me on to higher ground.
