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.”

My heart has no desire to stay where Doubts arise and Fears dismay.
Lord lift me up plant my feet on higher ground!
Sometimes it's so comfortable to stay in that awful condition in our hearts for some it's all we know and change is scary but we need to press on by faith the first part is no longer desiring to stay in this dreadful position. I don't care how comfortable it is, as long as we are down there we are fair game to all the darts of the enemy. He doesn't even have to throw things at us he could just walk over and kick us.
Lord lift me up! Let me staind By Faith on Canaan's table land.
Lord plant my feet on higer ground!
Finally willing to leave this trench of doubt and fear and be a little uncomfortable as I press on by faith!
