I’m Pressing on the Upward Way (Higher Ground)

1 Iā€™m pressing on the upward way,
New heights Iā€™m gaining ev’ry day;
Still praying as Iā€™m onward bound,
ā€œLord, plant my feet on higher ground.ā€

Refrain:
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith, on heavenā€™s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
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. [Refrain]

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

4 I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still Iā€™ll pray till heavā€™n Iā€™ve found,
ā€œLord, lead me on to higher ground.ā€ [Refrain]
