When I’m in the midst of the storm
When waves are gathering round
When the wind is howling and my fear is strong
God sets my feet on higher ground

When I walk through the valley, oh so low
When it seems the mountains abound
When I’ve lost all hope in a soon escape
God sets my feet on higher ground

When the enemy is by my side
When he says ‘m going down
When he torments me with the sins in my past
God sets my feet on higher ground

When sickness comes into my life
When it seems I‘m getting worse
When I don’t know when the healing will come
God sets my feet on higher ground

He never leaves me hopeless
Never leaves my side
He always overwhelms me with his love
And when I finally say goodbye
To this old earthly life
He’ll take me to my mansion above

For when I walk with Jesus
When He guides my every step
I rest assured I’ll always be on higher ground.
