Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and 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.
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.
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.
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!

What a beautiful picture and words.
Is this song new to you? It was new to me when I learned it at church. I love it!
You are right, the words speak volumes.
Becky,
It wasn't new to me - but I had forgotten about it! I love it, it touches my heart and gives me joy and hope!
I love it too. It always reminds me of my year in England at bible school since that is where i first learned it.
That's a beautiful sunset too!
I love this song--we have it on a CD....a great reminder today

A wonderful song full of words that give hope to my soul ...
*O What a Saviour, that He died for me* sings my heart as I meditate on what He did on Calvary's cross!!
Thanks for sharing!
