"Higher Ground"







Mmmhmmmm... mmmmmm...



Ohh yea yea yea



Ohhhh.. Mmmm-mmmhmmmm



I'm movin... higher ground...







(Ohh) I'm movin on (mmhmm) can't nothin stop me now 



(Mmm-yeah) I'm pressin on (higher ground) to higher ground 



(MMMM!) Each step I take (oooooh) is a new dawning of



(Ohh, oh-ohh) A brand new day (higher ground) for higher ground







Obstacles and situations, people places and things



I must overcome, cause there's a battle to be won



With my mind set on higher things



These things have become my footstool



I'm determined to reach my goal



I need peace for my soul







(Ohh) I'm movin on (that's why I'm movin on) can't nothin stop me now



(I'm pressin on) I'm pressin on (to higher ground) to higher ground



(MMMM!) Each step I take (each step I take) is a new dawning of



(For my higher place) A brand new day



(On my higher ground) for higher ground







I'm pressin on, the upward way



Brand new heights I'm gaining, eeeeeveryday



No higher place, that I really have found



(Lord plant my feet on) plant my feet on (On higher ground)



Forgetting what (forgetting what, is already behind me)



Is already be, ohhhh-oooooh-ohhhhohwhoahhhhh



(I'm moving forward) Moving Yahweh (for what's ahead)







I'm moving on.. can't nothin stop me now (nothing's gonna stop me)



I'm pressing on.. To higher ground (yeah yeah yeah yeah) 



each step I take (ohhhh hohhhh) is a new dawning of (yes it is) 



A brand new day (yeahhhh) for higher ground







the race is not given to the swift



nor the battle to the strong only



But instead (??????)



But we gotta stay strong and fight on



Sometimes you feel like your foot might slip



Cause it's too much goin on



Just realize your goal is greater than your struggle



Just hold on and be strong







I'm moving on.. (I'm moving on) can't nothin stop me now



(nothing, no-no-no)



I'm pressing on.. (Ooohooohooh) to higher ground (oahhyeahyeahh) 



each step I take (oh is the dawning of a new day) 



is the new dawning of (???)



A brand new day (yeahhyeahh) for higher ground







I'm moving on... can't nothin stop me now



I'm pressing on... to higher ground



Each step I take... is a new dawning of



A brand new day.. for higher ground







Be strong, and fight on



But by all means, keeeeeeeeeeep moving







[Missy] I'm a witness (I'm a witness) for Jesus (nobody but Jesus)



[Missy] When I was down, and no one was there



[Missy] He picked me up, and he carried me



[Missy] I'm a witness (I'm a witness) for Jesus (nobody but Jesus)



[Missy] When I was down, and no one was there



[Missy] He picked me up, and he carried me
