1. God sent His son,

                            Bb

they called Him, Jesus;

                     F                          C  

He came to love, heal and forgive

                     F                      Bb

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

                   F  

An empty grave is there

         C                     F  

to prove my Savior lives!

                           F       F7  

***Because He lives,

                     Bb

I can face tomorrow

                      F                      C  

Because He lives, all fear is gone

                  F       F7                Bb

Because I know He holds the future,

                 F  

And life is worth the living,

C                          F  

Just because He lives!

                            F                     Bb

2. How sweet to hold a newborn bAby,

                       F                        C  

And feel the pride and joy he gives;

                     F                       Bb

But greater still the calm assurance

                          F                C  

This child can face uncertain days

                      F  

because He Lives!

                          F                           Bb

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

                  F                       C  

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

             F                                     Bb

And then, as death gives way to victory

                   F                  C  

I'll see the lights of glory and

                    F  

I'll know He lives!
