Capo on the 5th fret
(Must play moderatly fast)
[Verse]
G C
I m pressing on the upward way
G D
New heights I'm gaining every day
G C
Still praying as I onward bound
G D G
"Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."
[Chorus]
G C
Lord, lift me up and let me stand
G D
By faith on heaven's table land
G C
A higher plane than I have found
G D G
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
[Verse]
G C
My heart has no desire to stay
G D
Where doubts arise and fears dismay
G C
Tho' some may dwell where these abound
G D G
My prayer, my aim is higher ground.
[Chorus]
G C
I want to live above the world
G D
Tho' satan's darts at me are hurled
G C
For faith has caught the joyful sound
G D G
The song of saints on higher ground.
G C
I want to scale the utmost height
G D
And catch a gleam of glory bright
G C
But still I'll pray till heaven I've found
G D G
"Lord, lead me on to higher ground."
[Chorus]
