Before the Throne

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 heav'n he stands

 No tongue can bid me thence depart

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

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

With Christ, my Savior and my God
