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!
