           D              Bm             D                  Bm 
Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea 
             D                    Bm 
A great high priest whose name is love 
         G                A  D 
Who ever lives and pleads for me 
           G             Bm                G       A      D 
My name is graven on his hands, my name is written on his heart 
            G                  Bm 
I know that while in Heaven he stands 
              G             A D 
No tongue can bid me thence depart 
              G             A G 
No tongue can bid me thence depart

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

To look on him and pardon mef

verse 3 
 (For this verse, it's just the Instrumental progression played throughout. This is a  
great chance to build before the last "king of glory and of grace", 
 where you can spring into a powerful Instrumental and then bring it down before  
finishing the song. 
 If not, just ignore the Instrumental and keep verse 3 intact.) 

           G         A     Bm       C#m     D        A        G 
Behold him there the risen lamb, my perfect spotless righteousness 
             G     A     Bm      C#m     D         A   G 
The great unchangeable I am, The king of glory and of grace 
    G                 A  Bm         C#m     D         A  G 
The king of glory and of grace, the king of glory and of grace 
    G                 A  Bm         C#m     D         A  G 
The king of glory and of grace, the king of glory and of grace

verse 3 cont. 
         G         A      D            G            A      D 
One with himself I cannot die, my soul is purchased by his blood 
           G        A         D                    G          A  D 
My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my savior and my God
