| 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!
|
| 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!
|
| And then one day, I’ll cross the 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! |
