New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on 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.

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.”

Lord, lead me to a higher ground where I can see You, my glorious Lord.

So inspirational and that's all I ask from the Lord to plant my feet on higher grounds in 2017. Heights that I can't reach with my ability in Jesus name.

This song ministers to the spirit. It opens the eye of the Spirit and reminds us the expectation of our Master. It is a beautiful piece of prayer.

I love this song me and my mom sing this song all the time she sings the lyrics I sing the high note bring real good memories.
Plus these lyrics are wrong it's place my feet on higher ground and still I'm praying and my faith from heaven there's a lot that's wrong. Just saying.
