1. God sent His son,
G
they called Him, Jesus;
D A
He came to love, heal and forgive
D G
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
D
An empty grave is there
A D
to prove my Savior lives!
D D7
***Because He lives,
G
I can face tomorrow
D A
Because He lives, all fear is gone
D D7 G
Because I know He holds the future,
D
And life is worth the living,
A D
Just because He lives!
D G
2. How sweet to hold a newborn bAby,
D A
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
D G
But greater still the calm assurance
D A
This child can face uncertain days
D
because He Lives!
D G
3. And then one day, I'll cross the river,
D A
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
D G
And then, as death gives way to victory
D A
I'll see the lights of glory and
D
I'll know He lives!
