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.
- from "Before the Throne of God Above" by Charitie Bancroft
How many times have I allowed Satan the victory twofold in my life? Not only do I sin, but I also despair when I recall the sin. This song reminds me of the victory that I have in Jesus Christ. Oh, how I need to lift my eyes!!! Look upward; see Christ's sacrifice! Because of Him, my soul is pardoned. What a blessed thought!
