327--Before the throne of God above

Before the throne of God above

327

	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.
