Before the Throne of God Above
Redeemed Before the Throne: A Love That Prevails
Lyrics
Before the throne of God above
Approaching the divine presence of God
I have a strong and perfect plea
Having a strong and flawless argument or defense
A great High Priest whose name is love
Referring to Jesus as a compassionate High Priest
Who ever lives and pleads for me
Jesus continuously intercedes and advocates on behalf of the individual
My name is graven on His hands
Symbolic representation of personal significance to Jesus
My name is written on His heart
Emphasizing a deep connection with Jesus
I know that while in heav'n He stands
Asserting Jesus' position in heaven
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No external force can separate the individual from God's presence
No tongue can bid me thence depart
Reiteration of the assurance that nothing can separate from God
When Satan tempts me to despair
Facing temptation and feelings of despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Acknowledging internal struggles and guilt
Upward I look and see Him there
Turning attention to Jesus as a solution
Who made an end of all my sin
Recognizing Jesus' atonement for all sins
Because the sinless Savior died
Highlighting the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus
My sinful soul is counted free
Emphasizing personal liberation through Jesus' sacrifice
For God the Just is satisfied
God's justice satisfied through Jesus' sacrifice
To look on Him and pardon me
God pardons the individual through looking at Jesus
To look on Him and pardon me
Reaffirmation of God's pardon through Jesus
Behold Him there, the risen Lamb
Beholding Jesus as the risen Lamb of God
My perfect, spotless Righteousness
Considering Jesus as perfect and without blemish
The great unchangeable I AM
Referring to Jesus as the eternal and unchangeable God
The King of glory and of grace
Describing Jesus as the King of glory and grace
One with Himself, I cannot die
Asserting eternal life and security in Jesus
My soul is purchased by His blood
Emphasizing the redemptive power of Jesus' blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
Life is hidden and protected in union with Christ
With Christ my Savior and my God
Identifying Jesus as both Savior and God
One with Himself, I cannot die
Reiteration of eternal life and security in Jesus
My soul is purchased by His blood
Reemphasizing the redemptive power of Jesus' blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
Reaffirming life hidden and protected in union with Christ
With Christ my Savior and my God
Confirming Jesus as both Savior and God
With Christ my Savior and my God
Further affirmation of Jesus as both Savior and God
With Christ my Savior and my God
Final affirmation of Jesus as both Savior and God
