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

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
