Higher Ground
Coffey Ministries Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 plane that I have found
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
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 plane that I have found
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
I want to scale the upmost height
and catch a gleam of glory bright
But still I'll pray till rest I've found
Lord, lead me onto higher ground
Lord, lift me up and let me stand
by faith on Heaven's table land
A higher plane that I have found
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
Lord, lift me up and let me stand
by faith on Heaven's table land
A higher plane that I have found
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
The lyrics to Coffey Ministries' song Higher Ground express a desire for spiritual growth and a deeper connection with God. The song is an acknowledgement of the challenges and doubts that can arise in one's faith journey but encourages the listener to press on towards a higher spiritual plane.
The first verse speaks to the singer's progress on their journey towards higher ground. They have already achieved new heights and are ever determined to continue on this path. The singer acknowledges that they still need God's guidance and intervention to help them stay on track. The chorus is a plea for God to lift them up and place them on a higher spiritual plane. The second verse follows a similar theme, with the singer rejecting the idea of staying in a place of doubt or fear. Instead, they aim for higher ground and seek God's help in achieving it.
The final verse is a declaration of the singer's desire to experience the fullness of God's glory. They pray for God's guidance until they reach a place of rest and a deep connection with Him. The use of the word "gleam" suggests that the singer believes that while they may only catch a glimpse of God's glory, it is still worth the pursuit. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus as the singer trusts in God to plant their feet on higher ground.
Overall, Higher Ground is a powerful expression of faith and a reminder to keep striving towards a deeper connection with God. It acknowledges the challenges of the journey but encourages perseverance and faith in God's guidance.
