Pure Forgiveness!!

Yesterday we finished the pure course which has been really good. Yesterdays topic was the of pure forgiveness. It is really reasurring to think that when Jesus died on the cross for us, every sin of ours went with him. Jesus - the ultimate sacrifice so we could be made right before God. Kath read us a verse from the song 'Before the Throne of God Above' all the verses of this song are a great reminder of Gods amazing love for us and how we can come to Him despite all the times we go against Him. So here are the lyrics:-

Before the throne of God above,

I have a strong, a 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 writen on His heart;

I know that while in heav'n He stands

no tongue can bid me thence depart.

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.

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

with Christ, my Savior and my God.

I do love this song. I also really ought to be revising so i shall leave the blogging there for the time being!!!
