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.”

It's early in the morning I just found the song after a search. I sang the song last night in a dream for hours though I don't know the lyrics. At dawn, I couldn't sleep longer till I went to my computer. Its an inspiration and a blessing, a song perfectly sang.

This song just reminds me that in this world we don't just sail through, but through pressing on we reach our expectations. Where we fail to stand, He lifts us. What a Saviour we have.

This song is very inspiring, it soothes my heart especially these words "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." My determination is to trust God until He comes or calls me home.

I loved this song: one of my favorite Christian songs. Above is higher than clouds, where my Lord and Head and Saviour found.

The second verse of this song is a prayer I believe we must all pray. The earnest expectation of creation awaits the manifestation of the sons of God. Enough of the sins, doubts and fears that has held us down. It's time for a walk with God on higher ground.

This song came to me while I was cooking and I began to search for the words even though I knew it in my dialect. The song is so inspiring and comforting as it strenghens me on the rocky roads I am throding in this life.

In my devotions this morning, I asked the Lord for His message to my heart and life in my current afflictions. Then He graciously directed me to the beautiful hymn: "I'm Pressing on the upward way" in support of my sermon, titled: "The Faith of the woman with the issue of blood." In the Gospel record of Mat. 9:20-22; Mar. 5:25-34; and Luke 8:43-47. I am inspired and Blessed to read the testimonies from the Saints around the world. God Bless you all in the Name of Jesus!
