A Hymn of Comfort

Well, this morning I was driving in the car. All by myself. Anytime you're by youself, you always have time to reflect, time to talk to the Lord. I take that time to put in some worship music. I have this one song, that for the past couple weeks has just been a HUGE comfort to me. It's off the Selah CD ( a good one I might add, has a bunch of old hymns). I must have played it over 6x in a one way drive and each time it brought me such joy and praise. I hope you find a great comfort in this hymn as well.

Before The Throne of God Above
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea.
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who 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 Heaven He stands
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 of 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.

Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
King of glory and of grace,
One in 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!

WOW! Praise the Lord!
