Higher Ground

[Spoken intro by Iris: "No voice has inspired me more than my mother's. She showed me that music is a pathway to higher ground".]

I'm pressing on the upward way

New heights I'm gaining every day

Still praying as I'm onward bound

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground

Lord, lift me up and let me stand

by faith on Heaven's table land

A higher plain than I have found

Lord, plant me feet on higher ground

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

Lord, lift me up and let me stand

by faith on Heaven's table land

A higher plain than I have found

Lord, plant me feet on higher ground

I want to scale the utmost heights

and catch a gleam of glory bright

but still I'll pray 'til heaven I've found

Lord, lead me on to higher ground

Lord, lift me up and let me stand

by faith on Heaven's table land

A higher plain than I have found

Lord, plant me feet on higher ground

Lord, lift me up and let me stand

by faith on Heaven's table land

A higher plain than I have found

Lord, plant me feet on higher ground
