The bleeding sacrifice, in my behalf appears.

Before the throne my surety stands, before the throne my surety stands;

My name is written on His hands.

He ever lives above, for me to intercede,
G C Am D
His all redeeming love, His precious blood to plead.

His blood atoned for every race, His blood atoned for every race,

And sprinkles now the throne of grace.

Five bleeding wounds He bears, received on Calvary.

"Forgive him, oh, forgive they cry, forgive him, oh, forgive, they cry,

Nor let that ransomed sinner die."

The father hears Him pray, His dear Anointed One;

His Spirit answers to the blood, His Spirit answers to the blood,
C/D (G C D) ^1x^
And tells me I am born of God.

My God is reconciled; His pard'ning voice I hear.
G C Am D
He owns me for His child; I can no longer fear.
C G/B D/F# Em G/D C
With confidence I now draw nigh, with confidence I now draw nigh,
C/D (G C D) ^1x^
And, "Father, Abba, Father," cry.
