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! |
