RCCG Hymn 339
I'm Pressing on the Upward Way
"Lead me to the rock that is higher than I." - Ps 61:2
I'm pressing on the upward way, New heights I'm gaining everyday; Still praying as I onward bound "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."
Chorus
Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on heaven's tableland; 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 these abound, My constant aim is higher ground.
Beyond the mist I fain would rise, To rest beneath unclouded skies, Above earth's turmoil peace is found By those who dwell on higher ground.
I long to scale the utmost height, Though rough the way, and hard the fight, My song, while climbing, shall resound Lord, lead me on to higher ground.
Lord, lead me up the mountain side I dare not climb without my Guide; And, heaven gained, I'll gaze around, With grateful heart from higher ground.
