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.”

I am being tested by the enemy at this time and has been praying for God's strength to navigate the tides. God sent this song as I was drifting off to sleep. I just know he is lifting me up on higher ground. The flood waters will not even touch my feet.

As I was preparing for a prayer meeting title: "Next Level" the Spirit of God dropped the chorus of the song in my heart; instantly, I knew something great is going to happen at the prayer meeting.
This song hit really hard today. I was listening to it from an old church service and it brought back all the memories of life when I was back in grade school. Now I'm a junior and things have changed so much, but this song and God's promises are the same.

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.
