### ————————— 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

### ————————— Chorus 1: ——————————————————————————————————————————————————

Hallelujah My life is found in Jesus Christ

Hallelujah For I am His and He is mine

### ————————— 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

### ————————— 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 Saviour and my God

### ————————— Verse 4: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————

I bow before the cross of Christ And marvel at this love divine

God's perfect Son was sacrificed To make me righteous in God's eyes

This river's depths I cannot know But I can glory in its flood

The Lord Most High has bowed down low And poured on me His glorious love

And poured on me His glorious love
