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#     C#7

***Because He lives,

                     F#

I can face tomorrow

                      C#                    G#

Because He lives, all fear is gone

                  C#     C#7              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!
