[Verse 1]
D Bm
Before the throne of God above,
D Bm
I have a strong and perfect plea,
D Bm
A great High Priest whose name is Love,
G A D
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
G Bm
My name is graven on His hands,
G A D
My name is written on His heart;
G Bm
I know that while in heaven He stands,
G A D
No tongue can bid me thence de-part
G A G
No tongue can bid me thence de-part

G A Bm A/C# 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 A/C# D A G
Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free;
G A Bm A/C# D A G
For God, the Just, is satisfied, to look on him and pardon me
G A G
To look on him and pardon me

Behold him there! the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless Righteousness,

The King of glory and of grace, The King of glory and of grace!
G A Bm A/C# D A G
The King of glory and of grace, The King of glory and of grace!

One with Himself I cannot die, my soul is purchased by His blood;
G A D G A D
My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ, my Savior and my God

With Christ, my Savior and my God
