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.”

There's a strong connection I have with hymns and I'm yet to figure it out.
This hymns was sung today in my church and I reminisced a day just like this one about seven years ago. I was about to take on one of the toughest battles of my life, feeling low and unarmed. But this hymn renewed the strength in my veins and reassured me of the place of God's children.
And today again, I'm about to take on a very tough task but listening to this hymn has relieved me once again. Glory be to God.

I woke up this early morning 1/12/24, feeling bad already because things are only getting worse as day passes, I tried to pray but couldn't I summarized and went to the bathroom there the Spirit of Christ dropped this song in my heart so I had to searched for the lyrics here. Glory be to God
