BECAUSE HE LIVES
1. God sent His son, they called Him
Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove
My Saviour lives.
Because He lives, I can face
tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just
because He lives.
2. How sweet to hold a new born
baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
because He lives.
3. And then one day, I’ll cross the
river,
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to
vict’ry,
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll
know He lives.
