| Because He Lives |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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 victory |
| I’ll see the lights of glory and |
| I’ll know He lives. |
