Because he lives

KEY

G  

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!
