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 hence depart
No tongue can bid me hence 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,
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 with His blood.
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God.
