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;

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."

Getting ready for work and my son tried to put my hymnal in my bag. I laughed and took it back out. Then at work this hymn came to mind. But I couldn't remember the words! Thanks for such a great resource.

This morning this song was sung to me in my dream. I kept on singing it till I woke up. Decided to look up the lyrics. This is amazing. God was definitely trying to tell me something. That no matter what I must continue to press on. The chorus kept on playing over and over. "Lord Plant my feet on higher ground" May the Lord plant our feet on higher ground. Amen.

It is my duty to press on. There will be doubts and fears. The enemy will hurl their darts. I have heights to scale. The LORD, my God, is the One that will take me to HIGHER GROUND.
