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]
