I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.
Psalm 57:9-11 (NIV)

Before the Throne

Last night I attended the Shane & Shane CD release concert in Wake Forest.  It was an amazing show saturated in Gospel truth and made for a wonderful end to an amazing weekend spent in the mountains at the Summit Students fall retreat.  There were many great songs played, but “Before the Throne” really touched my heart.  I’ve copied the lyrics below.  It is my hope that these words help you draw closer to God this morning!

Before the Throne
By:  Shane & Shane

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great high Priest whose name is Love
Whoever lives and pleads for me

My name is graven on His hand
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 a sinless Savior died
my sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
to look on Him and pardon me

Hallelujah
Praise the One Risen Son of God.

Behold Him there, the risen Lamb
My perfect spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The 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
