1. God sent His son,
A
they called Him, Jesus;
E B
He came to love, heal and forgive
E A
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
E
An empty grave is there
B E
to prove my Savior lives!
E E7
***Because He lives,
A
I can face tomorrow
E B
Because He lives, all fear is gone
E E7 A
Because I know He holds the future,
E
And life is worth the living,
B E
Just because He lives!
E A
2. How sweet to hold a newborn bAby,
E B
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
E A
But greater still the calm assurance
E B
This child can face uncertain days
E
because He Lives!
E A
3. And then one day, I'll cross the river,
E B
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
E A
And then, as death gives way to victory
E B
I'll see the lights of glory and
E
I'll know He lives!
