before the throne of god above
Em G
i have a strong , a perfect plea :
C G
a great high priest , whose name is love ,
Em G
who ever lives and pleads for me .

Em D
my name is graven on his hands ,
Em G
my name is written on his heart;
C D Em
i know that while in heaven he stands
C G
no tongue can bid me thence depart
C G
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 a 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 in 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
