Before The Throne of God Above...

This is probably my favorite lyric of all time....

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and 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 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 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



Behold Him there the risen Lamb
My perfect spotless righteousness

The great unchangeable I AM
The King of glory and of grace
One in Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased with His blood

My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God
