before the throne..

Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea

A great High Priest whose name is love, Who ever lives and pleads for me

My name is graven on His hands! My name is written on His heart!

I know that while in heaven He stands, No tongue can bid me thus depart

No tongue can bid me thus depart


When Satan tempts me to despair, And tells me of the guilt within

Upward I look and see Him there, Who made an end to all my sin

Because the sinless Savior died, My sinful soul is counted free

For God the just is satisfied, To look on Him and pardon me

To look on Him and pardon me


Behold Him there, the risen Lamb, My perfect spotless righteousness

The great unchanging all I Am, The King of glory and of grace

One with Himself, I cannot die, My soul is purchased by His blood

My life is hid with Christ on high, With Christ my Savior and my God

With Christ my Savior and my God
