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,
Whoever lives and and pleads for me.

My name is written on His hands,
My name is hidden in His heart;
I know that while in heaven He reigns
No pow’r can force me to depart
No pow’r can force me to 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 Saviour died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God, the just, is satisfied
To look on His and pardon me,
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there! The risen lamb,
My perfect, sinless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace!

One with the Lord I cannot die;
My soul is purchased my His blood,
My life is safe with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Saviour and my Lord
With Christ my Saviour and my Lord
