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.

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."

I was having a nap during the day and while I in the dream, I was singing this song. I woke up and had to look for the lyrics so I can learn it properly and it really lifted me up.
Thank You God for the provision of Your Son Jesus Christ whom You sent to redeem mankind.

Thank God for visiting me again through this Song, as I Meditate on Isaiah 40:30, at my fallen and fainted state like every sinner in the World... Lord lift me up from my Sinful and fallen state in Isaiah 40:30 and let me Stand and wait for you in Isaiah 40:31, so I can renew my strength in you again, then I can mount up with wings from the higher ground... I want to live above the world, I want to scale the utmost height with the LORD JESUS... then I will run in the Lord's strength and not be weary; and I shall walk with the Lord in Spirit and not faint... My prayer, my aim , is higher ground (Isaiah 40:31)!!!

In the place of prayer as our father in the Lord pastor E. A Adeboye, led us to pray for dominance over suffering, as I prayed this him popped up by the Holy Spirit and I kept on praying. I trust the Lord that the finished work of Christ will be fully manifested in my life. Amen

I was dreaming of running and catching a truck on a dusty road and as I climbed aboard the workers and I began to sing this song. I often have it come to my thoughts during the day it must be the Saints in Glory singing this so loudly.
