Psalm 27
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house

of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: 
in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:

therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises

unto the Lord.

Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, (During Verse 1) make remarks about the Lord as our help in times of trouble. He is our friend and guide on the Way of Salvation. Of course, there will be challenges. During these times we must keep pressing forward with confidence and trust in the Lord, knowing that He is right there with us.

He will give us strength.
2. As the song continues (During Verses 2 - 3) read the scripture from the book

of Psalm 27: 1 - 6 and Philippians 3:12-14.

Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1 - 3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.

Higher Ground 

​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.”
Refrain:
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.

My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where those abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. (Refrain)

I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground. (Refrain)
