[Verse 1]
D Bm Dsus4 D A
Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea
G A Bm
A great high priest whose name is love
F# G A D
Who ever lives and pleads for me
G A Bm G A D
My name is graven on his hands, my name is written on his heart
G A Bm
I know that while in Heaven he stands
G A D
No tongue can bid me thence depart
G A G
No tongue can bid me thence depart
[Instrumental]
G A Bm C#m D A G
[Verse 2]
D A Bm C#m D A G
When Satan tempts me to despair, and tells me of the guilt within
G A Bm G A D
Upward I look and see Him there, who made an end to all my sin
G A Bm C#m D A G
Because the sinless savior died, my sinful soul is counted free
G A Bm C#m D A G
For God the just is satisfied, to look on him and pardon me
G A D
To look on him and pardon me
[Instrumental]
G A Bm C#m D A G
[Verse 3]
(For this verse, it's just the instrumental progression played throughout. This is a
great chance to build before the last line of " the king of glory and of grace",
where you can jump into a powerful instrumental and then bring it down before
finishing the song. If not, just ignore the instrumental and keep Verse 3 intact.)
G A Bm C#m D A G
Behold him there the risen lamb, my perfect spotless righteousness
G A Bm C#m D A G
The great unchangeable I am, The king of glory and of grace
G A Bm C#m D A G
The king of glory and of grace, the king of glory and of grace
G A Bm C#m D A G
The king of glory and of grace, the king of glory and of grace
[Instrumental] x2
G A Bm C#m D A G
[Verse 3 cont.]
G A D G A Bm
One with himself I cannot die, my soul is purchased by his blood
G A Bm C#m D A Bm
My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my savior and my God
G A D
With Christ my savior and my God
