The Song of the Lord
The Song of the Lord is given by the Holy Spirit for the Lord's people to worship Him in Spirit and in truth; the Word of God with the Holy Spirit. With such sacrifices God is well pleased. Do not bring to Him any offering which is marred or defiled; a song of the flesh, for He is a great King and worthy to be praised! Jesus said, God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. The Father seeks such to worship Him. The lyrics to the songs are in the transcript.
The Song of the Lord
Lord Lift Me Up
Written by Johnson Oatman / Recorded by Robert Haymes
Higher Ground
By Johnson Oatman Jr
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 tableland,
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 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, plant my feet on higher ground.
