D                     G      D
Before the throne of God above
                            F#m
I have a strong and perfect plea.
               G      D   Asus     Bm
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
           G        A7sus     D
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
           G   D          Asus
My name is graven on His hands,
    D       G   D  G  A    Bm                     
My name is written on His heart.
             G     D  Asus     Bm
I know that while in Heaven He stands
               G      Em   A7sus Bm
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
               G      Em   A7sus D         
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

D                    G      D
When Satan tempts me to despair
                            F#m
And tells me of the guilt within,
           G   D  Asus      Bm
Upward I look and see Him there
             G         A7sus D
Who made an end of all my sin.
             G    D        Asus
Because the sinless Savior died
    D       G   D  G  A    Bm                     
My sinful soul is counted free.
              G   D Asus  Bm
For God the just is satisfied
            G      Em A7sus Bm
To look on Him and pardon me.
            G      Em A7sus D
To look on Him and pardon me.

D                    G       D
Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
                             F#m
My perfect spotless righteousness,
              G  D  Asus Bm
The great unchangeable I AM,
            G     A7sus     D
The King of glory and of grace,
             G   D        Asus 
One with Himself I cannot die.
    D        G     D G  A    Bm                     
My soul is purchased by His blood,
            G    D   Asus     Bm
My life is hid with Christ on high,
                G      Em A7sus Bm
With Christ my Savior and my God!
                G      Em A7sus D
With Christ my Savior and my God!
