1. God sent His son,

                            G#

they called Him, Jesus;

                     D#                        Bb

He came to love, heal and forgive

                     D#                    G#

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

                   D#

An empty grave is there

         Bb                   D#

to prove my Savior lives!

                           D#     D#7

***Because He lives,

                     G#

I can face tomorrow

                      D#                    Bb

Because He lives, all fear is gone

                  D#     D#7              G#

Because I know He holds the future,

                 D#

And life is worth the living,

Bb                        D#

Just because He lives!

                            D#                   G#

2. How sweet to hold a newborn bAby,

                       D#                      Bb

And feel the pride and joy he gives;

                     D#                     G#

But greater still the calm assurance

                          D#              Bb

This child can face uncertain days

                      D#

because He Lives!

                          D#                         G#

3. And then one day, I'll cross the river,

                  D#                     Bb

I'll fight life's final war with pain;

             D#                                   G#

And then, as death gives way to victory

                   D#                Bb

I'll see the lights of glory and

                    D#

I'll know He lives!
