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,

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."

Four years ago, this song was played for my bridal march. I don't really know why my wife chosen this song. But we celebrate our 4th anniversary today, I read the lyrics of the song. I realised that the Lord has really planted our feet on higher ground.

Was up this morning, feeling down because of problems on my job, and all I could hear was Lord lift me up. So I goggle the words and I'm Pressing On. I know this song, because I play for the choir. I never really paid attention to all the lyrics until I read every verse which was the prayer I needed. I'm so bless for the Lord has given me restoration from this song.

This hymn is for a child of God who is seeking His grace to make progress in the Christian race fraught with so many difficult challenges. The race requires a clear focus so as to avoid distractions and defilement.
