Before the throne of God above
I’m doing some ‘catch up work’ today which includes light housekeeping and hopefully some bill paying later. I’ve been listening to Integrity’s Worship at Home and have been so blessed by a song called, Before the Throne of God Above. The lyrics were written by Charitie Bancroft and the melody is by Vikki Cook. I tried finding a sample online for you to listen to but the renditions were not the same. This is the closest I could find so click on this link for Sovereign Grace Music…. The tune is the same.
Be blessed!!!
The words are awesome…
Before the throne of God above,
I have a strong, a perfect plea,
A great High Priest whose name is “Love,”
He 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.
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 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.
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

That is beautiful – I wish I could hear the melody that plays along with it!
I went to Itunes and couldn’t find the artist you mention but I did find the song and it is now on my Q-pod. Lovely! Absolutely lovely! Thanks….Q.’

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, what a blessing…Thank you for posting this, dear sister in Christ…Love you, paula
I dearly love this hymn. I only first heard it a couple months ago, but it became a fast favorite and has been going through my mind and heart since then. That is a beautiful rendition of it I hadn’t heard before. I play the one by Selah a lot also, found here:
