Higher Ground

625 – Higher Ground

Major Key: A Flat

1
I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

CHORUS:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2
My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

3
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.

4
I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till Heav’n I’ve found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

073 – Bwana, Uniongoze Juu
“Higher Ground”

1
Nakaza mwendo mbinguni, kila siku napanda juu;
Naomba nikisafiri, “Bwana uniongoze juu.”

Chorus
Bwana uniinue juu Kwa imani hata mbingu.
Juu kuliko dunia; Bwana uniongoze juu.

2
Moyo wangu hautaki Kukaa palipo shaka;
Wengine wapenda chini Nia yangu ni kupanda.

3
Nataka kupanda juu Nisishindwe na adui;
Kwa imani nasikia Sauti ya washindaji.

4
Kupanda juu nataka Niuone utukufu;
Hata mwisho nitaomba, “Bwana uniongoze juu.”
