Higher Ground Lyrics & Chords

By Johnson Oatman, Jr.

Verse 1

(D)I m pressing on the upward (G)way

New heights I'm (D)gaining every (A)day

Still praying (D)as I onward (G)bound

"Lord, plant my (D)feet on (A)higher (D)ground."



Chorus

(D)Lord, lift me up and let me (A)stand

By faith on heaven's table (D)land

A higher plane than I have (G)found

Lord, plant my (D)feet on (A)higher (D)ground.



Verse 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, and let me stand

By faith on Canaan’s tableland;

A higher plane than I have found,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.



Verse 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.



Verse 4

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.”.
