Higher Ground lyrics - Karen Clark Sheard (feat. Missy Elliott, Yolanda Adams, Kim Burrell, Dorinda Clark Cole, Mary Mary & Tweet)

[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

[Chorus]

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

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

[Chorus]

[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)
