BECAUSE HE LIVES

Verse 1 

       
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  Saviour 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

 Verse 2 

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

 Verse 3 

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 reigns
