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;

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.”

As I was praying this morning having been overtaken over the last few weeks with the cares of the world and fears of COVID-19 and just almost could not pray even when the test I run came out negative, I found such an awakening in this song. It just came to my spirit. Glory be to God.

This spiritual continually comes to my heart, though I don’t know the words but I enjoy the rhythm it uplift my spirit with joy. I called my daughter who sent the words to me now.

I have been pressing on in prayers day and night for a month and on the 27th day Satan 'hurled a dart' at me! I felt almost defeated until the Lord dropped this hymn in my spirit! I'M ALL ENERGIZED and encouraged to know there is a provision in the kingdom to press on regardless!

I was so disturbed, hoping and prayed to God. After the prayer section, the song dropped on my heart. I sang it wholeheartedly and rest assured it will end in testimony. Amen
Great blessing to the composer. Amen.

My most liked hymn of all seasons of elevation. It doesn't only ministers and assuring, it is always soothing, comforting and prophetic. May the Lord bless the composer.
On my knees praying and the Lord drop this song in my mind. Have not heard it for so long, but God knows it is my heart’s desire

The Lord put this song in my heart this morning. I pray that God will lift me up in all areas of my life and make to stand in Jesus name.
