Before The Throne Of God Above

Verse 1A

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.

Verse 1B

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.

Verse 2A

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.

Verse 2B

Because the sinless Saviour died My sinful soul is counted free. For God the just is satisfied To look on Him and pardon me.

Verse 3A

Behold Him there the risen Lamb, My perfect spotless righteousness, The great unchangeable I AM, The King of glory and of grace,

Verse 3B

One in Himself I cannot die. My soul is purchased by His blood, My life is hid with Christ on high, With Christ my Saviour and my God!
