Because He Lives

Verse 1: God sent His Son they called Him Jesus

He came to love heal and forgive
He bled 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*

Verse 2: How sweet to hold our newborn baby

And feel the pride and joy he gives
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
Because Christ lives

Verse 3: And then one day I'll cross that 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 reigns
