Because he lives

KEY

C  

1. God sent His son,

                            F  

they called Him, Jesus;

                     C                          G  

He came to love, heal and forgive

                     C                      F  

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

                   C  

An empty grave is there

         G                     C  

to prove my Savior lives!


                           C       C7  

***Because He lives,

                     F  

I can face tomorrow

                      C                      G  

Because He lives, all fear is gone

                  C       C7                F  

Because I know He holds the future,

                 C  

And life is worth the living,

G                          C  

Just because He lives!


                            C                     F  

2. How sweet to hold a newborn bAby,

                       C                        G  

And feel the pride and joy he gives;

                     C                       F  

But greater still the calm assurance

                          C                G  

This child can face uncertain days

                      C  

because He Lives!


                          C                           F  

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

                  C                       G  

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


             C                                     F  

And then, as death gives way to victory

                   C                  G  

I'll see the lights of glory and

                    C  

I'll know He lives!
