Higher Ground
| Johnson Oatman, Jr. | Charles H. Gabriel |
Verse
I'm pressing on the upward way,
New hieghts I'm gaining ev'ry day,
Still praying as I'm onward bound,
"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."Chorus
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 these abound,
My pray'r, 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.
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."
