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.”

We all as Christians, must daily strive to live above the world. It is difficult but we have an abundant supply of grace.

Four years ago, this song was played for my bridal march. I don't really know why my wife chosen this song. But we celebrate our 4th anniversary today, I read the lyrics of the song. I realised that the Lord has really planted our feet on higher ground.

Was up this morning, feeling down because of problems on my job, and all I could hear was Lord lift me up. So I goggle the words and I'm Pressing On. I know this song, because I play for the choir. I never really paid attention to all the lyrics until I read every verse which was the prayer I needed. I'm so bless for the Lord has given me restoration from this song.

This hymn is for a child of God who is seeking His grace to make progress in the Christian race fraught with so many difficult challenges. The race requires a clear focus so as to avoid distractions and defilement.
