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.”

This is such a spirit fill song
I find my self singing this lovely song.
It take me back with memories as a child,
Hearing my mom singing this song
As a single mom singing is how she look to God through her hard time with faith.
I will sing this song in church this week as long as God permit me to amen

Each time I hear or sing this song, I have a great reawakening in my spirit. Today, I began to see higher heights, not just in my spirit man and work with God but also in physical aspects of my life: Parenting, marriage, career, etc.
God bless the songwriter
Great song, always lift my spirit and thrills my soul

Our family devotion today on "Pressing On" from Daily Fountain Devotional impacted us for greater tomorrow through Christ.
With Christ, there are more for us in the future than what yesterday has offered us. New heights we attain everyday.
We googled the hymn and it added values and blessings to us.
