{c: Verse 1}
Before the [C2]throne of [F/C]God a[C]bove
I have a [C2]strong and perfect [Em]plea
A great High [F]Priest whose [G]name is [Am]Love
Who ever [F]lives and pleads for [C]me
{soc}
My name is [F/C]grav[G/C]en on His [Gsus4]hands, [G]
My [C]name is [F/C]writ[C]ten on His [Am]heart.
I know that [F/C]while [C]in [G]heav'n He [Am]stands
No [Am/G]tongue can [F]bid me [Dm]thence [F]de[Am]part
No [G]tongue can [F]bid me [Dm]thence [G]de[C]part.  [F] [C] [F]
{eoc}

{c: Verse 2}
When Satan [C]tempts me [F/C]to de[C]spair
And tells me [C]of the guilt with[Em]in,
Upward I [F]look and [G]see Him [Am]there
Who made an [F]end to all [Gsus]my [C]sin.
{soc}
Because the [F]sin[C/E]less Saviour [Gsus]died [G]
My [Em]sinful [F]soul [C]is counted [Am]free.
For [G]God the [F]Just [C]is [Gsus]satis[Am]fied
To [Am/G]look on [F]Him and par[Gsus]don [Am]me,
To [G]look on [F]Him and [Dm]par[G]don [C]me.  [Em7] [A7]

{c: Verse 3}
Behold Him [D]there the [Em/D]risen [D]Lamb
My perfect [D]spotless righteous[F#m]ness
The great un[G]changea[A]ble I [Bm]Am
The King of [G]glory [Em]and [G/A]of [D]grace
{soc}
One with Him[G]self [D/F#]I cannot [Asus]die [A]
My [D]soul is [G]pur[D/F#]chased by His [Bm]blood
My life is [G]hid [D/F#]with [A]Christ on [Bm]high
With [Bm/A]Christ my [G]Saviour [Em]and [A]my [Bm]God!
With [Bm/A]Christ my [G]Saviour [Em]and [A]my [D]God!
