Before the Throne by Selah

 selah

 

Before the throne of God aboveI have a strong and perfect PleaA great high priest whose name is LoveWho ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His handsMy name is written on His heartI know that while in Heaven He standsNo tongue can bid me thence departNo tongue can bid me thence depart
When Satan tempts me to despairAnd tells me of the guilt withinUpward I look and see Him thereWho made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Savior diedMy sinful soul is counted freeFor God the Just is satisfiedTo look on Him and pardon meTo look on Him and pardon me
Behold Him there, the risen LambMy perfect spotless RighteousnessThe great unchangable I amThe King of glory and of grace
One with Himself, I cannot dieMy soul is purchased by His bloodMy life is hid with Christ on highWith Christ, my Savior and my GodWith Christ, my Savior and my God
One with Himself, I cannot dieMy soul is purchased by His bloodMy life is hid with Christ on highWith Christ, my Savior and my GodWith Christ, my Savior and my God
