^{————————— Verse 1: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

I'm pressing on, the upward way

New heights I'm gain-ing every day

Still praying as, I'm onward bound

Lord plant my feet on higher ground

^{————————— Chorus: ————————————————————————————————————————————————————}

Lord lift me up, and let me stand

By faith on hea-ven's tableland

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 these 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, 'til heaven I've found

Lord lead me on to higher ground
