Complete lyrics:

Im pressing on the upward way,
New heights Im gaining every day;
Still praying as Im onward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Refrain:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heavens table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
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.

I want to live above the world,
Though Satans darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still Ill pray till Heavn Ive found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Heavenly Father ,in the midst of all the hurry in another busy day , keep my eyes open to the beauty of your creation, the happy sounds of children playing, the fresh clean scent of meadows after raining, the welcome sight of a friendly smile. Don't let me get so caught up with myself and my demanding schedule that I lose the strength I always gain from my quiet moment with you. Help me today to be at peace O Lord, with myself, my world and most specially you.

truly i need to hear this song right now in my life. So often we tend to focus on ground level, forgetting that we serve a God who can lift us high above the troubles of this world, if only we would lean on him and not on own understanding. We forget the power of our Heavenly Father and so we suffer needlessly. But glory to 'God he has ways of reminding us that he is always near and ready to lift us up to higher ground. Praise him

[hsiaoshuang]

The background landscape pictures are stunning, the lyric captions are well-timed; but the melody is flat and completely different from what I used to sing in church.
