HIGHER GROUND
(Rogers)

as recorded by Gale Storm
1959


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!

Lord lift me up and let me stand,
My 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.
Though some may dwell where these are found,
My prayer, my aim is higher ground!

Lord lift me up and let me stand,
My faith on heaven's table land.
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord plant my feet on higher ground!

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!

Lord lift me up and let me stand,
My faith on heaven's table land.
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord plant my feet on higher ground!
