1. God sent His son,
C
they called Him, Jesus;
G D
He came to love, heal and forgive
G C
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
G
An empty grave is there
D G
to prove my Savior lives!
G G7
***Because He lives,
C
I can face tomorrow
G D
Because He lives, all fear is gone
G G7 C
Because I know He holds the future,
G
And life is worth the living,
D G
Just because He lives!
G C
2. How sweet to hold a newborn bAby,
G D
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
G C
But greater still the calm assurance
G D
This child can face uncertain days
G
because He Lives!
G C
3. And then one day, I'll cross the river,
G D
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
G C
And then, as death gives way to victory
G D
I'll see the lights of glory and
G
I'll know He lives!
