Higher Ground Lyrics - Infamous Angel - Iris Dement

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
