Lyrics
Verse 1
Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands, my name is written on His heart
I know that while in heav'n He stands, no tongue can bid me thence depart
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
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
Bridge 1
I have a strong and perfect King, my God has ransomed me
Jesus the Savior, the perfect Lamb has pardoned 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
One with Himself I cannot die, my soul is purchased with His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my Saviour and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God
Bridge 2
I have a strong and perfect King, my God has ransomed me
I have a strong and perfect King, my God has ransomed me
Jesus the Savior, the perfect Lamb has pardoned me
Outro
Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me
