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.”

Climbing the mountain of life, we have to press on the upward way, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Don't give up until you win that battle of life staring at your face.

Each time that I find myself in the valley of life, of distress and discomfort, of pains and agony, of loneliness and trepidation, when confidante turn her back, and I am tempted to denounce God, this is one of the lyrics that assure me of God's mightiness, of hope and of dignified strength that "tough times never last".
Hallelujah!!!

I woke up only to see frost covered my lawn and and my fruit trees. I said to my husband it is early for frost in northern Florida. I got dressed went to drop my foster kids of for school came back looked at the plants and saw how in one night molecules of water that are present in the air when temperatures plummet quickly to subzero levels can cause such damage. I stood in awe at how short life can be. I began to think what do I value more? Is it the plant or is it God? And in a moment the song came to “Lord lift me up and let me stand”
With all the pandemic and everything going on in my life businesses have been rough money tight, my plants was what kept me going. But God is say come up higher I got you covered. I have such relief one can’t imagine. I even forgot the words of the hymn so I went to YouTube it.

I can't possibly think of any other sinking sand other than God's placement on higher grounds above the storms and challenges of life. God is The Great Sustainer of life. Amen
