1
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.”
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.
2
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.
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.
3
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.
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.
4
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.”
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.

I was dreaming of running and catching a truck on a dusty road and as I climbed aboard the workers and I began to sing this song. I often have it come to my thoughts during the day it must be the Saints in Glory singing this so loudly.

Waking up from sleep just now so much depressed and encumbered with so much care, I almost broke down to tears. So much fear - within and without. This song just hit my mind. I came here and sang it like I've never done before. Believe me, a great calm is reigning in the soul now! Hallelujah!

An inspirational song that focuses my mind on my saviour Jesus Christ as my anchor in this fallen world.
