How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives
But greater still the calm assurance
I boy 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 vict'ry
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
Nowlife is worth the living
Just because he lives
