We sang this Hymn last night at Faith Facts at church. It greatly encouraged me as it really has been my heart's prayer these past few years. My family has had a difficult year, but I just keep looking to God to strengthen us in our difficulties, that we might continue to proclaim His glory through our trials and see how He can use bad for good when all is said and done.

The song is "Higher Ground"

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.

My heart has no desire to stay
where doubts arise and fears dismay.
Tho' some may dwell where these abound
my prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

I want to live above the world
Tho' Satan's 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, lead me on to higher ground.

chorus:
Lord, lift me up and let me stand
by faith on heaven's tableland;
A higher plane than I have found
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
