Before The Throne

C F C Format:
Before the throne of God above
C Em Vs 1
I have a strong, a perfect plea:
F C G Am Vs 2
A great High Priest, whose name is Love,
F G C Bridge
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

F C
Vs 3
My name is graven on his hands,
F Am Bridge 2X
My name is written on his heart;
F G Am
I know that while in heaven he stands
F G Am
No tongue can bid me thence depart
F G C
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

Vs 2
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 a sinless Savior died,

My sinful soul is counted free;
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Bridge:
G Em Am F
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise the One,
G C
Risen Son of God!

Vs 3
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
With Christ, my Savior and my God
