[Verse 1]

[Verse 2]
I'm pressing [G]on the upward [C]way
New heights I'm [G]gaining every [D]day
Still [G]praying as I'm onward [C]bound
Lord, plant my [G]feet on [D]higher ground
[G]

[Verse 3]
Lord, lift me up and let me [D]stand
by faith on Heaven's table [G]land
A higher plain than I have [C]found
Lord, plant [G]me feet on [D]higher ground
[G]

[Verse 4]
My heart has no desire to [C]stay
where doubts [G]arise and
fears [D]dismay
Though some may [G]dwell
where these [C]abound
my prayer, my [G]aim, is [D]higher ground
[G]

[Verse 5]
Lord, lift me up and let me [D]stand
by faith on Heaven's table [G]land
A higher plain than I have [C]found

[Verse 6]
I want to scale the utmost [C]heights
and catch a [G]gleam of glory [D]bright
but still I'll [G]pray 'til heaven I've [C]found
Lord, lead me [G]on to [D]higher [G]ground

[Verse 7]
Lord, lift me [G]up and let me [D]stand
by faith on Heaven's table [G]land
A higher plain than I have [C]found
Lord, plant me [G]feet on [D]higher ground
[G]

[Verse 8]
Lord, lift me up and let me [D]stand
by faith on Heaven's table [G]land
A higher plain than I have [C]found
Lord, plant [G]me feet on [D]higher ground
