Before the throne of God above

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong a 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 with God 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 to all my sin.

Because the sinless saviour 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 ,
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 saviour and my God.
