Today I continue with my paraphrase

of Before the Throne of God Above.

See verse verse one HERE

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.

Satan tried to make me believe I am

                              unworthy

and for good reason.

But I simply have to look up

               to see Him there.

He already paid the price.

I am worthy of His love.

Because the sinless Savior died

My sinful soul is counted free

For Go the just is satisfied

to look on Him and Pardon me.

               He, the sinless one, who died

               Made it possible for me to be seen as

                              forgiven . . .

                                             righteous.

               the just God looks at my Savior . . .

                              sees

                                             then

                                                            pardons

                                                                           me.

Behold him there, the risen Lamb

My perfect spotless righteousness

The great unchangeable I AM

The King of glory and of grace.

               Look . . .

               God’s spotless perfection

               Unchangeable,

               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 Savoir and my God!

               One with Him, I will live forever!

               He paid for my soul with his blood

               So, it’s “me and Christ.”

               We blend together

               God can’t see one

                              without seeing

                                             the other.
