1. God sent His son,

                            D#

they called Him, Jesus;

                     Bb                        F  

He came to love, heal and forgive

                     Bb                    D#

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

                   Bb

An empty grave is there

         F                     Bb

to prove my Savior lives!

                           Bb     Bb7

***Because He lives,

                     D#

I can face tomorrow

                      Bb                    F  

Because He lives, all fear is gone

                  Bb     Bb7              D#

Because I know He holds the future,

                 Bb

And life is worth the living,

F                          Bb

Just because He lives!

                            Bb                   D#

2. How sweet to hold a newborn bAby,

                       Bb                      F  

And feel the pride and joy he gives;

                     Bb                     D#

But greater still the calm assurance

                          Bb              F  

This child can face uncertain days

                      Bb

because He Lives!

                          Bb                         D#

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

                  Bb                     F  

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

             Bb                                   D#

And then, as death gives way to victory

                   Bb                F  

I'll see the lights of glory and

                    Bb

I'll know He lives!
