Before the Throne of God Above // an S.M.S Rendition

We love hymns for their rich lyrics, inspired by Scripture and truly speaking to every aspect of the believer's journey. It is a goal of ours to one day record an EP or album with our renditions of different hymns. Here's the first of our arrangements.

Lyrics:

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest, whose name is Love
Whoever lives and pleads for me

My name is graven on His hands
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 to all my sin

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there, the Risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I am
The King of glory and grace!

One with 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
