These are a few of my favorite words... 1

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Preist whose name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on 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 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


Charitie L. Bancroft, 1863
