Sojourn Music's 'Before the Throne of God Above' is a modern arrangement of a classic hymn that celebrates the believer's secure standing before God through Jesus Christ. The song emphasizes Christ as the High Priest who intercedes for believers, with their names written on His hands and heart. It addresses the struggle against guilt and Satan's accusations, pointing to Christ's finished work on the cross as the basis for forgiveness and freedom. The lyrics also affirm the resurrection and the believer's eternal security, being hidden with Christ in heaven. The song draws on themes of substitutionary atonement and the believer's union with Christ.

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 heav?n 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

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
