Higher Ground (Lord Lift Me Up) - Filah Tuju sms (SKIZA 7637054) to 811 

Higher Ground (Lord Lift Me Up) hymn is one of the most widely sang worship songs during Luo church service.
It is a total acceptance of God's power over our lives. Apart from being a prayer that most of us share at this trying time, it was also a great joy for me to arrange it.
May the hymn not only entertain you but also bring you closer to God through all your storms and peace. May He always meet your needs according to His will.

Lyrics
I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
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 prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s 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 I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”
