[Verse 1]

C                     F    C
Before the throne of God above
C                          Em
I have a strong, a perfect plea:
             F       C     G       Am
A great High Priest, whose name is Love,
         F         G          C
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

            F     G        C
My name is graven on his hands,
            F      G      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        C
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    C   G       Am
Upward I look, and see him there
          F        G      C
Who made an end of all my sin.

          F       G      C
Because a sinless Savior died,
             F    G       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      C
To look on Him and pardon me


[Bridge]

    G           Em  Am              F
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise the One,
      G       C
Risen Son of God!


[Verse 3]

           C          F     C
Behold him there, the risen Lamb
            C                Em
My perfect, spotless righteousness,
          F     C    G   Am
The great unchangeable I am,
            F     G      C
The King of glory and of grace!

              F     G      C
One with himself, I cannot die
             F       G      Am
My soul is purchased by his blood
              F     G         Am
My life is hid with Christ on high, [hold note; birdseye]
                F      G      Am
With Christ, my Savior and my God
                F      G      C
With Christ, my Savior and my God
