verse 1 :
D G/D D
before the throne of god above ,
D F#m
i have a strong , a perfect plea ,
D/F# G D/F# A Bm
a great high priest whose name is “love , ”
G6 Em7 G/A D
who ever lives and pleads for me .

chorus 1 :
F#m G D/F# D A
my name is graven on his hands ,
D F#m7 G D/F# G A Bm
my name is written on his heart;
Bm/A G D/F# A Bm2
i know that while in heav’n he stands
Bm Bm/A G6 Em7 G/A Bm
no tongue can bid me thence depart .
Bm/A G6 Em7 G/A D
no tongue can bid me thence depart .

verse 2 :
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 .

chorus 2 :
because the sinless saviour 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 .

verse 3 :
behold him there! the risen lamb ,
my perfect , spotless righteousness ,
the great unchangeable i Am ,
the king of glory and of grace!

chorus 3 :
one with himself i cannot die ,
my soul is purchased by his blood;
my life is hid with christ on high ,
with christ , my saviour and my god
with christ , my saviour and my god
