Higher Ground

Verse 1
[G]I’m pressing on the upward[C] way
New heights I’m [G]gaining every[D] day
Still praying [G]as I onward[C] bound
“Lord, plant my f[G]eet on high[D]er g[G]round.”

Chorus
[G]Lord, lift me up and let me[C] stand
By faith on [C]heaven’s table[G] land
A higher [G]plane than I have[C] found
Lord, plant my [G]feet on h[D]ighe[G]r ground.

Verse 2
[G]My heart has no desire to[C] stay
Where doubts [G]arise and fears[D] dismay
Tho’ some may [G]dwell where these[C] abound
My prayer, my [G]aim is h[D]ighe[G]r ground.

Verse 3
[G]I want to live above the[C] world
Tho’ satan’s [G]darts at me are[D] hurled
For faith has [G]caught the joyful[C] sound
The song of [G]saints on h[D]ighe[G]r ground.

Verse 4
[G]I want to scale the utmost[C] height
And catch a [G]gleam of glory[D] bright
But still I’ll [G]pray till heaven I’ve[C] found
“Lord, lead me [G]on to h[D]ighe[G]r ground.”
