Im pressing on the upward way
Im pressing on the upward way
New heights Im gaining every day;
Still praying as Im onward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
# Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heavens 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 those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
# Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heavens tableland,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. #
I want to live above the world,
Though Satans 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 Heavens tableland,
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 Ill pray till heavn Ive found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."
# Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heavens tableland,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. #
