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!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,

And feel the pride and joy he brings;

But greater still the calm assurance:

This child can face uncertain

days because He 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!

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!

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!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

And life is worth the living,

Just because He lives!
