Before the Throne of God Above -- Piano

I wanted to hear how it sounded =) It is a beautiful song: both music and lyrics. Forgive my speeding up at some parts-- I get ahead of myself sometimes! Oh and the recording makes the notes sound jumbled up together like there's too much pedal... just as a warning :-)

Lyrics:
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 in His heart.
I know that while in heaven 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!

Where did you get that sheet music?

[paulitafalita]

@yestojesus1 It's actually not sheet music... I just used chords and played it by ear. Nice to know it's sheet music-worthy though :)

[paulitafalita]

I will try to post a tutorial or something in a few months when my schedule gets less crazy! This was a few years ago so I'll try to improve it a bit, too :)

This is so beautiful. Were you trained to play by ear or does it come naturally to you? Thank you for sharing this on YouTube.

[paulitafalita]

@sissyg73 Thank you! It comes naturally. The Lord gave me a wonderful gift so I am so thankful :) Glad you enjoyed it.

did you play this song by ear? or did you learn it from sheet music? If you learned it from sheet music, could you tell me where you got it from?

[paulitafalita]

@DeadPenguin1359 Hey! It's actually by ear... wish I could recommend sheet music. I'm a big fan of chords and just playing around those =) Hope all goes well for you if you try it- it's a beautiful song.
