Higher Ground Songtext
von Karen Clark Sheard

I′m pressing on to higher ground
Each step I take is the new dawning of
A brand new day for higher ground

Obstacles and situations,
People, places and things
I must overcome for there's a battle to be won
With my mind set on higher things,
these things have become my footstool
I′m determined to reach my goal, I need peace for my soul oh

I'm pressing on to higher ground
Each step I take is the new dawning of
A brand new day for higher ground

I'm pressing on the upward way
Brand new heights I′m gaining everyday
No higher place that I really have found

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground
Forgetting what is already behind me
I′m moving forward to what's ahead


I′m pressing on to higher ground
Each step I take is the new dawning of
A brand new day for higher ground

The race is not given to the swift
Nor the battle to the strong
But it's to the one that endureth
But we gotta stand strong and fight on

Sometimes you feel like your foot might slip
Cause there′s too much going on
Just realize your goal is greater than your struggle
Hold on and be strong

I'm pressing on to higher ground
Each step I take is the new dawning of
A brand new day for higher ground

Be strong and fight on
But by all means keep moving on


I′m a witness (Tweet: I'm a witness)
For Jesus (Tweet: nobody but Jesus)
When I was down and no one was there
He picked me up and He carried me (Tweet: Oh He carried me)
I'm a witness (Tweet: I′m a witness)
For Jesus (Tweet: nobody but Jesus)
When I was down and no one was there
He picked me up and He carried me (Tweet: Oh He carried me)
