one of the greatest hymns ever written!!!


Before the throne of God aboveI 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!

those three vereses depict the walk of a Christian. whenever i hear the first verse, i alway imagine me falling before God on His throne, beaten...bloody, full of sin. and a person with sin can't be in the presence of God! He's is perfectly Holy, completely opposite of me. But that's why Jesus stands by His side, to intercede for my sinful soul, to tell God that He died for me. That He was crucified on the cross so that my sins would be forever thrown away! God would look on Christ and pardon me. (For God the just is satisfied to look on Him and pardon me!) and then the most exciting moment in my Life!!! to stand before my risen Lord and worship Him. that's what i'm looking forward to! to meet God in His glory and Holiness and be able to physically bow before Him and worship, that blows my mind. and it gives me a spiritual excitment. that this world is not eternal, it's slowly dying in preparation for my Life with Him! wow...I'm excited! :)
