Monday Meditation: Before the throne of God


Due to a very busy end-of-semester schedule, I have not posted... I'll try & get back on it :)
This song has come to mind and attention several times of late, and I want to share it. 

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 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 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,
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!


There are a few tunes, but I think this one (in the video) is my favorite.


What a wonderful thing it is to sing of His praises and worship the one it is who came to this earth to save each one who puts their trust in Him.
