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#     G#7

***Because He lives,

                     C#

I can face tomorrow

                      G#                    D#

Because He lives, all fear is gone

                  G#     G#7              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!
