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 singing this beautiful song in the dream and woke up and have to check it out to continue in the physical.
It shall be a glorious day for me as I Press On The Upward Way. The Lord will definitely Plant My Feet On Higher Grounds.

All thanks to God almighty. We just finished a preparation meeting for Sunday service on a Saturday evening and I got to lie down on the bed, then the holy Spirit brought the hymn into my spirit, can't even remember the last time I sang the hymn, but I thank the holy Spirit for the inspiration and by the time I goggle it and I sang it with joy in my heart and laughter in my mouth, it was a confirmation to what holy Spirit has been sharing with for some few days ago. All thanks to God almighty.
And a great thanks to the initiator of this platform. More grace and God bless you in Jesus name. Amen.

Glory to Jesus... I was just so weak to pray, crying like a baby and asking the Lord to help me, immediately this song came to my spirit I grabbed my phone googled it and I landed here... the stanza 3 is a light bulb moment for me cos devil has been throwing the darts of prayerlessness at me but today my faith has caught a joyful sound... I will keep pressing on the upward call still I lay hold of something... It's too late to give up.
Also, stanza 2 stood out for me, the song quickly took out doubts and fears from me currently am trusting God for success in my Nclex exam and the enemy has been bringing fear and doubts to me and I refuse to doubt what God has told me and fear... I press upward to the success God has for me!! I have victory in Christ Jesus!! 😄
God bless you for putting this together. Heaven reward you!
