A Higher Plateau

by Ellen Bailey

I want to reach for a higher plateau
Valley vistas and mountain ridges are just too low

And when I get to one mountain top
I'm going to scale over; I'm not going to stop

I want to reach for a higher plateau
No looking back for me; onward I will go

I will rise with the first morning light
And praise God with a cheerful delight

I want to reach for a higher plateau
Because I want to see the saints of old

I want to stand beside Heaven's Pearly Gates
And dine with Jesus in that Heavenly place
