38 - Lord, plant my feet on higher ground

1:

I’m pressing on the upward way,

New heights I’m gaining every day;

Still praying as I’m onward bound,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Refrain:

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,

By faith, on heaven’s tableland,

A higher plane than I have found;

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2:

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.

3:

I want to scale the utmost height

And catch a gleam of glory bright;

But still, I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found,

“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”
