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 written on His heart;
I know that while with God 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, 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.
