Before the Throne of God Above

"Let us cling to Him and never stop trusting Him. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same temptations we do, yet He did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it" - Hebrews 4:14-16

I discovered the book of Hebrews on March 19, 2010. I know its been there the whole time, but I never really stopped to actually read it. I've read the "Faith" chapter (Hebrews 11) but that was all. This book is wonderful ... it really does tell of Jesus! It tells us of his love, his sacrifice ... the whys, the hows. I'm excited to dig in some more :) As I read my heart was singing and I couldn't stop singing this wonderful song.

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 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 my 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
To look on Him and pardon me

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Praise the One, Risen Son of God

Behold Him there, the Risen Lamb
My perfect Spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of glory and of 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
With Christ my Savior and my God

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Praise the One, Risen Son of God
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Praise the One, Risen Son of God
