Higher Ground / In the Sweet By and By / When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder Lyrics by The Ruppes

Born to Serve

0

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
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
There's a land that is fairer than day
And by faith, we can see it afar
For the Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
When the trumpet of thе Lord shall sound
And time shall be no more
And thе morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair
When the saved of earth shall gather
Over on the other shore
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there
I will move to higher ground
When I hear that trumpet sound
And I'll rise up through the sky
In the sweet by and by
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there
I'll be there
