a strong and perfect plea

Hi all,

Was away for most of Dec but it's so good to be back. Though it's only the 3rd day of school, I am already feeling very tired and overwhelmed with all the things I have to plan for. I woke up at 4 this morning, unable to get back to sleep and began praying to God. But I really didn't know what to say and confessed to God my utter confusion.

But this morning, He spoke to me through the words of the song - Before the throne of God above, reminding me that because of Christ, I have a strong and perfect plea and that when I keep my eyes on Him, I won't fall.

Here are the lyrics to bless your day.

D                    G   D
Before the throne of God above,
D                          F#m
I have a strong, a perfect plea,
           G       D     A       Bm
A great High Priest whose name is "Love,"
       G    A       D
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
         G  D          A
My name is graven on His hands,
         G  D      A    Bm
My name is writen on His heart;
          G      A        Bm
I know that while in heav'n He stands
        G           Bm
no tongue can bid me thence depart.
            G      A     D
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
