1 verse:  
A                                E/H A/C# D
I'm pressing on the upward way,
                              A                         E
New heights I'm gaining every day;
     A                         E/H A/C# D
Still praying as I'm onward bound,
                             A/E              E7   A
"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground!"

Chorus:  
                     A                           E7
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
                                                   A
By faith, on Heaven's tableland;
                                     E/H A/C# D
A higher plane than I have found,
                           A/E              E7   A
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground!

2 verse:  
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!

3 verse:  
I want to live above the world,
Though Satan's darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught a joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground!

4 verse:  
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, plant my feet on higher ground!"
