Higher Ground

Johnson Oatman Jr.           Chas. H. Gabriel

 

Chorus…

Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on heaven's table land,

A higher plain than I have Found. Lord plant my feet on higher ground.

 

I'm pressing on the upward way. New heights I'm gaining ev'ry day;

Still praying as I onward bound, "Lord plant my feet on higher ground."

 

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.

 

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.

 

I want to scale the utmost height, And catch a gleam of glory bright;

But still I pray 'till heav'n I've found "Lord lead me on to higher ground."
