BEFORE THE THRONE

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea (Heb 4:15-16)
A great High Priest whose Name is “Love” (Heb 4:14)
Who ever lives and pleads for me (Heb 7:25)
My name is graven on His hands (Isa 49:16)
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart (Rom 8:34)
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair (Luke 22:31-32)
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there (Acts 7:55-56)
Who made an end of all my sin (Col 2:13-14)
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me (Rom 3:24-26) x2

Behold Him there the risen Lamb (Rev 5:6)
My perfect spotless righteousness (1 Cor 1:30; 1 Peter 1:18-19)
The great unchangeable I AM (Heb 13:8; John 8:58)
The King of glory and of grace
One in Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood (Acts 20:28)
My life is hid with Christ on high (Col 3:3)
With Christ my Savior and my God! (Tit 2:13) x2
