Philip Bixby - Higher Ground Lyrics

1 I'm pressing on the upward way,
New heights I'm gaining ev'ry day;
Still praying as I'm onward bound,
"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."

2 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.


CHORUS:
Lord, lift me up, let me stand
I walk by faith on heaven's tableland
C higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.



3 I want to live above the world,
Though Satan's darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught a joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

4 I want to scale the utmost height,
Cnd catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I'll pray till heav'n I've found,
"Lord, plant my feet on to higher ground."
