D                    G/D   D
[tab]D                          F#m
I have a strong, a perfect plea,

  D/F#         G     D/F#   A       Bm
A great High Priest whose name is "Love,"

         G6         Em7   G/A D
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

[Chorus 1]

        F#m G D/F# D       A
My name is graven on His hands,

D      F#m7 G  D/F# G  A    Bm
My name is written on His heart;

  Bm/A        G   D/F#  A       Bm2
I know that while in heav'n He stands

Bm Bm/A       G6     Em7    G/A  Bm
no tongue can bid me thence depart.

   Bm/A        G6    Em7    G/A  D
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

[Verse 2] 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. [Chorus 2] Because the sinless Saviour 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. [Verse 3] Behold him there! the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless Righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! [Chorus 3] One with Himself I cannot die, My soul is purchased by His blood; My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ, my Saviour and my God with Christ, my Saviour and my God
