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 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.
2 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. (Chorus)
3 And then one dayWe’ll all cross that riverAnd fight life’s final war with painAnd then, as death gives way to victoryI’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives(Chorus)
