The Advocate

Before the throne of God above

I have a strong and perfect plea. (Heb 4:15-16)

A great High Priest whose Name is Love (Heb 4:14)

Who ever lives and pleads for me. (Heb 7:25)

My name is graven on His hands, (Isa 49:16)

My name is written on His heart.

I know that while in Heaven He stands

No tongue can bid me thence depart. (Rom 8:34)

When Satan tempts me to despair (Luke 22:31-32)

And tells me of the guilt within,

Upward I look and see Him there (Acts 7:55-56)

Who made an end of all my sin. (Col 2:13-14)

Because the sinless Savior died

My sinful soul is counted free.

For God the just is satisfied

To look on Him and pardon me. (Rom 3:24-26)

Behold Him there the risen Lamb, (Rev 5:6)

My perfect spotless righteousness, (1 Cor 1:30; 1 Peter 1:18-19)

The great unchangeable I AM, (Heb 13:8; John 8:58)

The King of glory and of grace,

One in Himself I cannot die.

My soul is purchased by His blood, (Acts 20:28)

My life is hid with Christ on high, (Col 3:3)

With Christ my Savior and my God! (Tit 2:13)
