Before the Throne
Before the throne of God above | I have a strong and perfect plea | A great high Priest who’s name is Love | Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hand | My name is written on His heart | I know that while in heaven He stands | No tongue can bid me thence depart
When satan tempts me to despair | and tells me of the guilt within | upward I look and see Him there | Who made an end of all my sin
Because a sinless Savior died | my sinful soul is counted free | For God the just is satisfied | to look on Him and pardon me
Hallelujah | Praise the One Risen Son of God.
Behold Him there, the risen Lamb | My perfect spotless righteousness | The great unchangeable I AM | The King of Glory and of grace
One in Himself, I cannot die | My soul is purchased by His blood | My life is hid with Christ on high | With Christ my Savior and my God

A most excellent song! It moves me to tears every time I sing this song. I can only imagine Christ standing between YWHH and myself, cleansing me with His blood. To know that there is one constant thing in the universe is a comfort.
Thank you for responding to His call as a writer. Please continue to allow Him to use you!

This song has been used by God to comfort my heart this morning when I woke up depressed, even though I didn’t really know it. I heard it in church on Sunday and loved it, but pretty much forgot it until this morning when I woke up with it in my heart. I was discouraged and falling into a depressed mood and the Lord helped me out of it with this song. I had to look it up to learn the words. It took my all morning to recall the title.
Thanks for being His instrument of comfort through your song! Blessings forever!
