Higher Ground Songtext
von Aretha Franklin & Rev. Jasper Williams

Mm, well, mm

Lord, lift me up and let me stand
By faith on heaven′s table land
A higher plane
Lord, I found
Oh Lord, plant my feet on higher ground (higher ground)

Lord, lift me up and let me stand
By faith on heaven's table land
A higher place
Lord, I found
Jesus, plant my feet on higher ground (higher ground)


Oh Lord (lift me up)
Yeah
Come on Jesus, come on now, mm, mm
Lord, can you lift me?
Oh Jesus, come on lift me up now
