Higher ground      My heart has no desire to   stay where doubts arise   and fears dismay.   Though we must dwell   where these are bound   I must go on to higher ground.      I want to scale the   utmost hight and catch   a gleam of glory bright.   For faith has caught   the joyful sound,   the song of life on higher ground.      Lord, lift me up   and let me stand my feet   on heaven's stable land.   Oh, greater plane   that I have found.   Oh, plant my feet on higher ground.      I'm treading on the   upward way, new hights   I'm gaining every day,   still praying as I'm homeward bound:   Oh, plant my feet on higher ground.
