Iris DeMent - Higher Ground lyrics

No voice has inspired me more than my mother's. She showed me that music is a pathway to higher ground 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 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 me 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 me 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
