Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea, a great high Priest whose name is love Whoever 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 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 King of glory and of grace One in 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
