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."

This song brings down the face of God to me whenever I am singing it and encourages me of better things ahead. It really motivates me every day. it has even become my morning devotional song. After singing this in the morning it fills my heart with hopes and desires to know HIM more.

Our voice, our words, our actions - all must synchronize to invite the LORD to lift us up. Like a little child, who has had enough from playing with toys, let us throw up our hands to our Father above to lift us up from our normal ways of life into the heights of unknown experience. LORD LIFT ME UP

It's a beautiful song any day. The Lord's never changing - that's why I can't get weary of the lyrics.
