“Because He Lives”

Verse 1
God sent His Son
They called Him Jesus
He came to love heal and forgive
He bled and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove
My Savior lives

Chorus
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives

Verse 2
How sweet to hold
Our newborn baby
And feel the pride
And joy he gives
But greater still
The calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
Because Christ lives

Verse 3
And then one day
I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death
Gives way to vict'ry
I'll see the lights of glory
And I'll know He reigns
