1. God sent His son,
D
they called Him, Jesus;
A E
He came to love, heal and forgive
A D
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
A
An empty grave is there
E A
to prove my Savior lives!
A A7
***Because He lives,
D
I can face tomorrow
A E
Because He lives, all fear is gone
A A7 D
Because I know He holds the future,
A
And life is worth the living,
E A
Just because He lives!
A D
2. How sweet to hold a newborn bAby,
A E
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
A D
But greater still the calm assurance
A E
This child can face uncertain days
A
because He Lives!
A D
3. And then one day, I'll cross the river,
A E
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
A D
And then, as death gives way to victory
A E
I'll see the lights of glory and
A
I'll know He lives!
