Higher Ground

Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #230 (1980) Scripture: Philippians 3:14 First Line: I'm pressing on the upward way Refrain First Line: Lord, lift me up and let me stand Lyrics: 1 I'm pressing on the upward way, New height 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. 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) 3 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. (Chorus) 4 I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I'll pray till heav'n I've found, "Lord, lead me on to higher ground."
