Before the throne of god above

• D

Verse 1: 
D                    G/D   D 
Before the throne of God above, 
D                          F#m 
I have a strong, a perfect plea, 
  D/F#         G     D/F#   A       Bm 
A great High Priest whose name is "Love," 
         G6         Em7   G/A D 
Who ever lives and pleads for me. 
 1: 
        F#m G D/F# D       A 
My name is graven on His hands, 
D      F#m7 G  D/F# G  A    Bm 
My name is written on His heart; 
  Bm/A        G   D/F#  A       Bm2 
I know that while in heav'n He stands 
Bm Bm/A       G6     Em7    G/A  Bm 
no tongue can bid me thence depart. 
   Bm/A        G6    Em7    G/A  D 
No tongue can bid me thence depart. 
Verse 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 to all my sin. 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
Because the sinless Saviour 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. 
 
 
Verse 3: 
Behold him there! the risen Lamb, 
my perfect, spotless Righteousness, 
the great unchangeable I AM, 
the King of glory and of grace! 
 
 
Chorus 3: 
One with Himself I cannot die, 
My soul is purchased by His blood; 
My life is hid with Christ on high, 
with Christ, my Saviour and my God 
with Christ, my Saviour and my God
