I was there that night. This was recorded in 1991 in Detroit. I wish they had the reprise too. Marvin started it back up and made the mistake of trying to battle Karen. She let him have his fun for a second and then shut er'thing down. LOL Love her!!!

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. 2 My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where these abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. 3 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. 4 I want to scale the utmost height And catch a gleam of glory bright; But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found, “Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”

[@andalite24]

Yeah I agree 100% with you. I think in the early 90s, Karen was simply nasty at the mike. She's toned down some, but I think thats more so the fault of the record labels and their changing interests over time. Afterall, Karen, the recording artist, still has to conform to what the record labels tell her in order to stay with her label. Though, last I heard, she's starting her own label. So who knows what we'll year in the coming year?
