My heart has no desire to stay where doubts arise and fears dismay. Though we must dwell where these are bound I must go on to higher ground. I want to scale the utmost hight and catch a gleam of glory bright. For faith has caught the joyful sound, the song of life on higher ground. Lord, lift me up and let me stand my feet on heaven's stable land. Oh, greater plane that I have found. Oh, plant my feet on higher ground. I'm treading on the upward way, new hights I'm gaining every day, still praying as I'm homeward bound: Oh, plant my feet on higher ground.
