Lyrics
Chorus
Lord, lift me 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 ev’ry day; Still praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Lord
Verse 2
My heart has no (Heart has no) desire to stay (desire to stay) Where doubts arise (where doubts arise) and fears dismay; (and fears dismay;) Tho’ some may dwell (Some may swell ) where these abound, (where these abound,) My prayer, my aim (my prayer, my aim) is higher ground. (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 (Want to scale) the utmost height, (the utmost height,) And catch a gleam (And catch a gleam) of glory bright; (of glory bright;) But still I’ll pray (Still I'll pray) till heav’n I’ve found, (till heav'n I've found,) “Lord, lead me on ("Lord, lead me on) to higher ground.” (to higher ground.")
