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.”

Woke up from sleep by 10:50 not being able to remember the dream I had though not too happy but this song cripes into my mind after sixteen years. God I thank You for the foundation You have given me despite all You still call me closer. I am happy now and full of hope.

This song ministered to me as I study the word in 2Corin 1:24 "for by faith you stand".
Many distraction and plot to keep us sinking but by faith we stand. On higher ground where we catch the glimps of glory bright, on higher ground where faith has caught the joyful song.
Thank You Jesus. I am refreshed.

I was having my quiet time on being alert and vigilant (1st Peter 5:8). This song came to my spirit, telling me the way to stay alert is to press on to higher grown. I'm blessed by this hymn especially the second verse.

This came up in me while praying just like you Erochukwu!! I had to smile because I know we are the family of God and the Spirit of God joins us together! I hadn’t heard this song in many years. It is my heart! ❤️

Walking down the street with my sister last night. Filled with thoughts of the future and fulfillment of destiny and this song began to sing in my spirit. I had to voice it out. Though I knew the lyrics before I found out I had lost the lyrics. So had to check it on net. And my spirit soars. Thank you.

Thank You Father, Thank You Son, Thank You Holy Spirit for lifting me up astronomically to higher ground. I'll forever live for Your glory because my heart no longer desires to stay where doubts arise and fears dismay. Hallelujah!
