Higher Ground

[Intro] No voice has inspired me more than my mother's She showed me that music is a pathway to higher ground [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] I want to scale the utmost heights And catch a gleam of glory bright But still, I'll pray until Heaven I've found Lord, lead me on to higher ground [Chorus][x2]
