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 heav'n 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 and end of all my sin
Because a sinless Saviour 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
the King of Glory and of Grace
One in Himself I cannot die
my soul is purchased with His blood
My life is hid with Christ on High
with Christ my Saviour and my God
i wish there'd be more *GOOD* remakes of hymns.
too many fruitless hours in the ACS(I) chapel coupled with an immature mind to comprehend the lyrics I now find 'high class' and 'arty farty' but generally really beautiful and poetic.
and it rhymes!
