Before the Throne of God Above

Written by Charitie L. Bancroft, 1863


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 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 of 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.

Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace,
One in 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!

 
I never knew this was an old song!  If you would like to hear the song, here is the original version.   You can hear a more current version here.  And here.

The Whole Picture Game Review & GIVEAWAY!

I have another great product to tell you about from PlayAbility, it is called The Whole Picture Game.  This game is a matching game with a puzzle like twist.  Everyone starts out with a game board and a picture card.  After mixing up the 36 playing cards, the players take turns trying to find card matches to there picture card. 
Each game board has picture wholes that match up with the cards, making the picture complete. 

 

  

The Whole Picture game is geared for children ages 4 and up.  One of the great things about this game is that up to 6 people can play at a time, a big plus for larger families!  Not only is this game FUN,  it is EDUCATIONAL!  Check out all the skills they work on just by playing the game:

• Matching Skills
• Word Recognition
• Hand-Eye Coordination
• Problem Solving
• Fine Motor Skills
• Visual Discrimination

The children enjoy playing this game, especially Alpha Boy and Computer Girl.  This would be a great game for the kids to play during the school day for a little academic break. I am also going to also put this is Alpha Boy's workboxes to practice his matching skills. 

 

 

PlayAbility has two versions of the The Whole Picture Game, there is On the Farm and Goin' Places (this is the one we reviewed).  You can purchase your own Whole Picture game from PlayAbility for only $12.99.
