lyrics

Before the throne of God above,
I have a strong and perfect plea,
a Great High Priest who's 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,
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to dispare,
and tells me of the guilt within,
upward I look and see Him there,
Who made an end to all my sin,
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

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