Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea:
A great high priest, whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is written on His hands,
My name is hidden in His heart;
I know that while in heaven He stands
No power can force me to depart,
No power can force me to 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 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.
Behold Him there! The risen Lamb,
My perfect, sinless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace!
One with my Lord I cannot die:
My soul is purchased by His blood,
My life is safe with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Saviour and my God,
With Christ, my Saviour and my God.
King of kings, majesty.
God of heaven living in me.
Gentle Saviour, closest friend.
Strong Deliverer, beginning and end.
All within me falls at Your throne.
Your majesty, I can but bow,
I lay my all before You now.
In royal robes I don't deserve
I live to serve Your majesty.
Earth and heaven worship You.
Love eternal, faithful and true.
Who bought the nations, ransomed souls,
Brought this sinner near to Your throne.
All within me cries out in praise.
Your majesty, I can but bow,
I lay my all before You now.
In royal robes I don't deserve
I live to serve Your majesty.
I live to serve Your majesty.
There's a wideness in God's mercy
That is wider than the greatest sea;
And so I know it covers even me.
There's a depth to His compassion
That is deeper than I'll understand;
And so my life is safe within His hands.
His love is deep enough for me,
To cause these blinded eyes to see,
To set this lowly captive free from sin.
His grace is flowing from above,
Reflected in the Saviour's love
O precious Father, help me take it in.

Wonderful grace,
That gives what I don't deserve,
Pays me what Christ has earned,
Then lets me go free.
Wonderful grace,
That gives me the time to change,
Washes away the stains
That once covered me.
And all that I have I lay at the feet
Of the wonderful Saviour who loves me.
Wonderful grace,
That held in the face of death,
Breathed in its latest breath
Forgiveness for me.
Wonderful love,
Whose pow'r can break ev'ry chain,
Giving us life again,
Setting us free.
And all that I have I lay at the feet
Of the wonderful Saviour who loves me.
