Key: F 
 
             F             Bb   
I'm pressing on the upward way, 
                F       Dm    Gm7/C     C7  
New heights I'm gaining every day; 
              F           Bb     
Still praying as I onward bound, 
                F/C           C7  F  
"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."  
              F             C7  
Lord, lift me up and let me stand, 
                           F            
By faith, on heaven's tableland 
                           Bb    Gm     
A higher plane than I have found; 
               F/C           C7 F   
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 those abound, 
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. 
 
Lord, lift me up and let me stand, 
By faith, on Heaven’s tableland, 
A higher plane than I have found; 
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. 
 
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. 
 
Lord, lift me up and let me stand, 
By faith, on Heaven’s tableland, 
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 heav’n I’ve found, 
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
