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.”

No matter how I am feeling down! This song uplift my spirit.

The word "Canaan's" shouldn't be there. It’s "heaven's" tableland

This song plays in my mind as the Holy Spirit awakens me to prayer at 3am or 4am in the early hours of the morning . Also, l am in a season of prayer and fasting and the lyrics encourage me that God is calling me ever higher in prayer to be seated with him in heavenly places. He is waiting for me in the garden of persevering, earnest and fervent prayer. My desire is to answer the call and to press ever upward in prayer to another , and another and yet another height in him. Indeed he awaits us all to come and spend hours in prevailing prayer, seeking his will and in intercession for the church of the living God and our desperate world.

This song was my mother's favorite. This song has also become my favorite too. This should always be the desire of our hearts for the Lord to plant our feet on higher ground. Let us be obedient to His commandments. This is the only way to get to higher ground.
