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."
New heights I'm gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan's tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
By faith on Canaan's tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

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.
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

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.
Though 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'll pray till rest I've found,
"Lord, lead me on to higher ground."
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I'll pray till rest I've found,
"Lord, lead me on to higher ground."

Seating in my living room, watching Pst Prince on TBN preach on THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD, and this hymn dropped in my spirit and I started singing and I realized that every word speaks about where I am and where God is taken me to. I just know that this is the word of God to me right now. Hallelujah!

I am being tested by the enemy at this time and has been praying for God's strength to navigate the tides. God sent this song as I was drifting off to sleep. I just know he is lifting me up on higher ground. The flood waters will not even touch my feet.

As I was preparing for a prayer meeting title: "Next Level" the Spirit of God dropped the chorus of the song in my heart; instantly, I knew something great is going to happen at the prayer meeting.
This song hit really hard today. I was listening to it from an old church service and it brought back all the memories of life when I was back in grade school. Now I'm a junior and things have changed so much, but this song and God's promises are the same.

As I was praying this morning having been overtaken over the last few weeks with the cares of the world and fears of COVID-19 and just almost could not pray even when the test I run came out negative, I found such an awakening in this song. It just came to my spirit. Glory be to God.

This spiritual continually comes to my heart, though I don’t know the words but I enjoy the rhythm it uplift my spirit with joy. I called my daughter who sent the words to me now.
