As Evil Reigns In The End-Of-This-Age, What Should A Believer Do? Keep Pressing On...To Higher Ground - Oatman, 1898

The farther down into gross darkness [Isaiah 60:2] this world spirals, the further up the believer should go - press on the upward way believer...
***
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.



Refrain:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven's table land,
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

I want to live above the world,
Though Satans darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I'll pray till Heav'n I've found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Johnson Oatman, Jr., 1898
