Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

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."

Chorus

Lord, lift me up and let me stand

 By faith on heaven's table land

 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

 Tho' some may dwell where these abound

 My prayer, my aim is higher ground.

Chorus

I want to live above the world

 Tho' satan's darts at me are hurled

 For faith has caught the joyful sound

 The song of saints on higher ground.

Chorus

I want to scale the utmost height

 And catch a gleam of glory bright

 But still I'll pray till heaven I've found

 "Lord, lead me on to higher ground."

Chorus
