|
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 writen on His heart; |
|
I know that while in heav'n He stands |
|
no tongue can bid me thence depart. |
|
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 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 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 |
|
with Christ, my Savior and my God |
