Verse 1

[D]Before the t[G/D]hrone[D] of God above,
[D]I have a strong, [F#m]a perfect plea,
A[D/F#] great Hig[G]h Pr[D/F#]iest w[A]hose n[Bm]ame is "Love,"
Who e[G6]ver liv[Em7]es and[G/A] plea[D]ds for me.

Chorus 1

My n[F#m]ame i[G]s [D/F#]grave[D]n on [A]His hands,
[D]My na[F#m7]me is [G]wr[D/F#]itten [G]on[A] His[Bm] heart;
I[Bm/A] know that[G] wh[D/F#]ile in[A] heav'[Bm2]n He stands
[Bm]no t[Bm/A]ongue can[G6] bid [Em7]me the[G/A]nce d[Bm]epart.
No[Bm/A] tongue c[G6]an bi[Em7]d me t[G/A]hence[D] 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
