Lyrics from the song "Before the Throne of God Above" the song can be heard here: http://64.34.176.235/sermons/SID13155.mp3
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.
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.
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!
With Christ, my Savior and my God!
Let the accusers mouth be silenced today. The precious blood of Jesus has cleansed us from all sin. May we believe God today that there is nothing more that we can do, that it has already been done; that He has pardoned us once and for all and that as far as the east is from the west, so far are our sins behind the back of God never to see them again. Let the wicked one who vomits shame upon us, who tempts us with condemnation, guilt, and rejection; let his mouth be shut by the Word of God! Christ died once and for all to set us free. The price has been paid, it is a free gift. Ephesians 2:8-9, no excuses to be full of shame, no excuses to be full of guilt and condemnation, His blood was shed for thee, His blood was shed for thee. So that you would be spotless and blameless before His sight, His blood was shed for thee. So that all your sins would be washed away once and for all, His blood was shed for thee. Praise Him today for His precious blood!
