"Higher Ground" lyrics - KAREN CLARK SHEARD

[Chorus]
I'm moving on, Can't nothing stop me now
I'm pressing on to higher ground
Each step I take is the new dawning of
A brand new day for higher ground

[Kim Burrell] Obstacles and situations,
People, places and things
I must overcome for 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 oh

[Yolonda Adams] I'm pressing on the upward way
Brand new heights I'm gaining everyday
No higher place that I really have found

[MaryMary] Lord, plant my feet on higher ground
Forgetting what is already behind me
I'm moving forward to what's ahead

[Dorinda Clark-Cole] The race is not given to the swift
Nor the battle to the strong
But it's to the one that endureth
But we gotta stand strong and fight on

[Karen] Sometimes you feel like your foot might slip
'Cause there's too much going on
Just realize your goal is greater than your struggle
Hold on and be strong

[Chorus twice]

[Karen and Dorinda] Be strong and fight on
But by all means keep moving on

[Missy Elliott] I'm a witness (Tweet: I'm a witness)
For Jesus (Tweet: nobody but Jesus)
When I was down and no one was there
He picked me up and He carried me (Tweet: Oh He carried me)
I'm a witness (Tweet: I'm a witness)
For Jesus (Tweet: nobody but Jesus)
When I was down and no one was there
He picked me up and He carried me (Tweet: Oh He carried me)
