1. Before the throne of God above
  I have a strong, a perfect plea;
  A great High Priest, whose Name is Love,
  Who ever lives and pleads for me.
2. My name is graven on His hands,
  My name is written on His heart;
  I know that while with God He stands
  No tongue can bid me thence depart.
3. 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.
4. Because the sinless Savior died,
  My sinful soul is counted free;
  For God, the Just, is satisfied
  To look on Him and pardon me.
5. Behold Him there, the risen Lamb!
  My perfect, spotless Righteousness,
  The great unchangeable I AM,
  The King of glory and of grace.
6. 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.
