Because He Lives
Verse 1
God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus, He came to love, heal, and forgive; He lived 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 a newborn baby and feel the pride and joy he gives; But greater still the calm assurance This child can face uncertain days because He 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 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 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. And life is worth the living just because He lives.
