I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
E. Dewey Smith, Jr. is the senior pastor/teacher of The Greater Travelers Rest Baptist Church -- The House of Hope, located in Decatur, Ga. Prior to moving to metro Atlanta, Pastor Smith served the Beulahland Bible Church in Macon, Ga. as senior pastor/teacher.
A native of Macon, Pastor Smith received his Bachelor of Arts degree in religion from Morehouse College in Atlanta, and has done graduate studies at the Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse School of Religion. Smith graduated magna cum laude from Southern Christian University, Montgomery, Ala., with a Master of Science Degree. He received a Doctor of Divinity degree from The United Theological Seminary and Bible College, Monroe, La., and has completed postgraduate studies at the historic Oxford University in England.
E. Dewey Smith, Jr. commenced his preaching ministry at the tender age of 17 and his pastoral ministry at age 19. God has favored him by allowing tremendous and explosive growth to accompany his ministry. His first congregation grew from 48 to more than 3,000 members in 13 years. After faithfully serving at Beulahland, God elevated Pastor Smith to become pastor/teacher of The Greater Travelers Rest Baptist Church in January 2004. In just a short time, the church's membership has quadrupled and now exceeds 7,000. Amazingly, in just his fifth year as its pastor/teacher, The Greater Travelers Rest was blessed to acquire a seven building (totaling 300,000 square feet), 55-acre campus, featuring a 7,000 seat Cathedral -- all for the glory of God!

Im a white man,I live in a small midwest town,I seen a black guy walking down the street the other day,He said he was new to this State,I welcomed him and told him Jesus Loves him,and ministered to him,tears fell from his eyes,he told me he got saved in 2002,spent a life sentence in a level 5 prison,he was waiting for his sister,she was getting out of prison soon.He asked me,where is all the black people?I said,they live on the other side of town,but I know them,love them.Glory Jesus.(LOVE)
No one can sing this song like pastor Dewey! He blesses me when he sings. Bless you pastor. Caroline
I stumbled onto one of these videos, and I really believe that those older songs have so much more meaning , more Spirit-filled words, by Spirit-lead believers, than the SOME (not all) of what is called christian and gospel music today. I go to a church where we sing a lot of old "coros" (Spanish speaking church), and we are considered an "old people's church" bc of lack of a lot of "pizzaz" ( lack of state-of-the-art equipment , many musicians, lights, big screen, ECt) some would say. But THE WORD is taught there, and we sing unto The Lord and He moves there. I'm afraid to say that this does not happen in a lot of churches today. I am so glad to see this pastor sing, these great "old" songs that glorifies God and not man. God bless this Pastor and the one who uploaded this video.
This was in 2006. LORD its Now Feb.2021& I'm Still Standing. Gloryyy🙌🙌
I'm still listening in 2024 nothing like these old hymns
It's now 2024 and we still need our God to Lift Us Up!! Praise The Lord!!😊❤
My aunt passed away on Sunday in Santee SC. And I have to sing this at her funeral. She ate this song up!!!! And I pray I make her proud ♥️♥️♥️
I won't even begin to tell you how many times I have played this video. It is absolutely nothing like them old hymns that can make your spirit rejoice.
I love it I love it.....I grew up on these foundational songs and down through the years, they have kept me rooted and grounded in The Lord. Yes Lord
I could listen to this music all day long. I love this pastor and his church
