Before the Throne of God Above

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.

My name is graven on his hands,

My name is written on his heart;

I know that while in heaven 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 guild 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

Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  

Praise the One, Risen Son of God!

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

I've sang this song twice in the past two days.  Such an amazing song that speaks of so much grace that is not only given at the time of belief in Jesus Christ, but in the faith that continues on afterward as we continue to look at the cross for the ultimate assurance of grace and salvation.  Makes me so happy.  =D
