Higher Ground Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

Mm, well, mm

Lord, lift me up and let me stand
By faith on heaven′s table land
A higher plane
Lord, I found
Oh Lord, plant my feet on higher ground (higher ground)

Lord, lift me up and let me stand
By faith on heaven's table land
A higher place
Lord, I found
Jesus, plant my feet on higher ground (higher ground)


Oh Lord (lift me up)
Yeah
Come on Jesus, come on now, mm, mm
Lord, can you lift me?
Oh Jesus, come on lift me up now
Oh Lord, lift me
Now Lord, come on, lift me up
I need You, Jesus, oh, Lord
Lord, lift me up

When I pray, Jesus
Cannot be found
Lord, yeah
And I′m almost down yeah, to the ground
Lord
Come on lift me up
Lord, Lord, lift me
Oh Jesus

Who get in your way sometimes
Sure enough it will

Yes, they will
Family problems, they might drag you sometime, yeah

Oh Lord, Lord, Lord, lift me up
He might seem unreachable
Oh, Lord, yes You do sometimes

And I am going to seek, yeah
Seek in prayer, sure enough
