We have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

My Savior, who died on the cross for my sin,
Is pleading in glory for me;
Redeeming my soul as a victor to win,
He’s pleading in glory for me.
Refrain
Pleading for me, pleading for me;
Advocate, friend and Redeemer is He;
Love looking down for my soul with a plea,
My Savior is pleading for me.
He knows all my needs on the storm-beaten sea,
He’s pleading in glory for me;
Supplies them in mercy so rich and so free,
He’s pleading in glory for me.
Refrain
I’m trusting His grace and His wonderful love,
He’s pleading in glory for me;
To look on His face in the mansions above,
He’s pleading in glory for me.
