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.�

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on heaven�s table land,
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 those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on heaven�s table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on 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.

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on heaven�s table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I�ll pray till heaven I�ve found,
�Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.�

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on heaven�s table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
