Higher Place of Praise
CeCe Winans Lyrics

Now there a place that's blessed
There is a holy and sacred place that has been blessed

Where we find happiness
This place is where we find true happiness

A place, a [unverified], a higher place of praise, praise
This place is a sanctuary where we can praise and worship at a higher level

We lift our hands and we learn to dance and sings
We express our joy and love for God through singing and dancing with raised hands

We've got the notion, then where going through the motions
We may go through motions in worship, but we have a genuine love and passion for God

Now tell me really, it that victory, tell me
Is our current state of worship truly a victory, or is there more to be gained?

But there's I found and, it's a much higher mountain
I have found a higher level of worship than what I currently experience

It wakes me early morning, and I know it's Zion calling
The desire for this higher level of worship wakes me up early and I feel called to worship at a deeper level

Me into worship to give me live daily, daily
I feel compelled to worship every day of my life to receive the blessings that it brings

Now mmm nice, not the noise when times have come or stop
I seek a place of calm and peace in worship, not just empty noise or ritual

My spirit my sole and my flesh
My entire being; mind, body, and spirit

Needs this place of praise, praise
Yearns for this holy place of worship where I can praise God at a higher level

Now here's the story, no flesh and glory
This is not a story about personal glory or achievement

It is awesome presence, it's his holy name we reverense
It is a powerful and sacred presence, ultimately culminating in reverence for God's Holy Name

This place is precious, powerful and pure, so pure
This place of worship is sacred, powerful, and pure

A higher place, a higher place I've found
I have found a higher level of worship that elevates me closer to God

I've found it, takes me to higher ground
This place of worship elevates me to a higher level of spiritual understanding and closeness to God

The brightness of your face, the brightness of your face
The radiance and glory of God's presence

Gives me a praise
Elicits an outpouring of praise and worship from my heart

I wonna go higher, higher, higher, higher,higher
I desire to go higher and experience even greater levels of worship and intimacy with God

I wonna go home, I wonna go higher
I desire to go back to my heavenly home but until then I desire to reach higher levels of worship and closeness to God

The brightness of your face, give me a higher praise
The radiant glory of God's presence elevates my worship to a higher level

Higher praise, higher, I wonna go home
I desire to offer God a higher level of praise and worship, reaching for my heavenly home in the process

Now there a place that's blessed
This holy sanctuary of worship is truly blessed

Where we find happiness
This is where we find true happiness and fulfillment

A place a savidrest, a higher place of praise, praise, praise
This holy sanctuary is a place of rest, a higher level of worship, and overflowing praise
