Before the Throne

<p>Kung Hei Fat Choi! Happy Chinese New Year!</p> <p>One of the greatest obstacles to prayer is guilt and shame. In this episode of our "Prayer Songs" series, Brian and Chris share with you "Before the Throne". It is a lovely song that reminds us of what Jesus does for our prayers: he cleanses us and makes us right before God so we can approach the throne in prayer. No matter how you're feeling today, confident or ashamed, we hope that this song can give you confidence that your prayers are heard, not because of your eloquence or pretty words, but because of Jesus' sacrifice for our sins on the cross.</p> <p>#Prayer Songs<br> #Before the Throne<br> #Approach God’s throne of grace with confidence<br> #Great high priest who has ascended into heaven</p> <p><br></p> <p>Song: <strong>Before the Throne</strong><br> Artist: <strong>Chelsea Moon &amp; Uncle Daddy</strong><br> Songwriter: <strong>Charitie L Bancroft</strong><br> Album: Hymn Project, Vol. 1<br> Video is available at: https://youtu.be/mgVy6ZP9wuw</p> <p><br></p> <p><u><strong>Hebrews 希伯來書 4:14-16<br> </strong></u>Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.<br> 我們既然有一位已經升入高天尊榮的大祭司，就是神的兒子耶穌，便當持定所承認的道。因我們的大祭司並非不能體恤我們的軟弱。他也曾凡事受過試探，與我們一樣，只是他沒有犯罪。所以，我們只管坦然無懼的來到施恩的寶座前，為要得憐恤，蒙恩惠，作隨時的幫助。</p> <p><br></p> <p><u><em>Lyrics<br> </em></u>Before the throne of God above<br> I have a strong, a perfect, plea<br> A great high priest whose name is love<br> Who ever lives and pleads for me<br> My name is graven on his hands<br> My name is written on his heart</p> <p>I know that while in heaven he stands<br> No tongue can bid me thence depart<br> When Satan tempts me to despair<br> And
