Lyrics

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 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 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!
