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."

I was prayer journaling tonight when this hymn came to mind. I hadn't heard it in years but I was humming the chorus. I looked up the words and my heart was filled with His Holy Spirit. He is always right on time and He knows exactly what to speak to us! Thank You Jesus!

This song is a blessing to me. I was talking to the Lord and I ask Him give me a song and He drop this song in my spirit. What I learn about this song that is all about eternity because as Christians we are on a journey and heaven is our final destination. So let us keep on focusing on Jesus.

This is a song I loved since childhood because my late mother sangs it passionately. It can heal all diseases and changes all situation. I dedicate it to my country Nigeria.
