[Verse 1]
C F C
Before the throne of God above
C Em
I have a strong, a perfect plea:
F G Am
A great High Priest, whose name is Love,
F G C
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
F C
My name is graven on his hands,
F Am
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 Am
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

[Verse 2]
C F C
When Satan tempts me to despair,
C Em
And tells me of the guilt within,
F G Am
Upward I look, and see him there
F G C
Who made an end of all my sin.
F C
Because a sinless Savior died,
F Am
My sinful soul is counted free;
F G Am
For God, the Just, is satisfied
F G Am
To look on Him and pardon me
F G Am
To look on Him and pardon me
[INSTRUMENTAL]

[Verse 3]
C F C
Behold him there, the risen Lamb
C Em
My perfect, spotless righteousness,
F G Am
The great unchangeable I am,
F G C
The King of glory and of grace!
F C
One in himself, I cannot die
F Am
My soul is purchased by his blood
F G Am
My life is hid with Christ on high,
F G C
With Christ, my Savior and my God
F G C
With Christ, my Savior and my God
