No voice has inspired me more than my mother's   She showed me that music is a pathway to higher ground      I'm pressin' on the upward way   New heights I'm gainin' every day   Still prayin' as I'm onward bound   Lord, plant my feet on higher ground      Lord, lift me up and let me stand   By faith on Heaven's table land   A higher plain than I have found   Lord, plant me 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      Lord, lift me up and let me stand   By faith on Heaven's table land   A higher plain than I have found   Lord, plant my feet on higher ground      I want to scale the utmost heights   And catch a gleam of glory bright   But still, I'll pray 'til Heaven I've found   Lord, lead me on to higher ground      Lord, lift me up and let me stand   By faith on Heaven's table land   A higher plain than I have found   Lord, plant my feet on higher ground      Lord, lift me up and let me stand   By faith on Heaven's table land   A higher plain than I have found   Lord, plant my feet on higher ground
