|
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 thence 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 of 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. |
|
|
|
Behold Him there the risen Lamb, |
|
My perfect spotless righteousness, |
|
The great unchangeable I AM, |
|
King of glory and of grace, |
|
One in 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! |
