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.
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.”

This song gives me strength whenever I am weak. It makes my faith in God stronger, when I face a strong challenge and gives me resounding victory when it’s like all hope is lost.
Awka, Anambra, Nigeria
I woke up with the hymn lyrics dropping in heart, telling me the good and greater things God has done for me and the ones I so much believe he will still do... Can't take my mind off reading meanings into each and every word in the hymn.....

My Theme/ song for the first quarter of the year.. Wish the tempo were slower and more prayerful.

I was praying this hymn for my son, and Jesus whispered, "your son is already seated with Me in the Heavenly Places, pray instead that he will choose to accept my revelation of that truth - the gift of faith is from Me, to all who believe."
