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 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

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.
