1. God sent His son,

they called Him, Jesus;
B F#
He came to love, heal and forgive

He lived and died to buy my pardon,
B
An empty grave is there
F# B
to prove my Savior lives!

***Because He lives,

I can face tomorrow
B F#
Because He lives, all fear is gone
B B7 E
Because I know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living,
F# B
Just because He lives!

2. How sweet to hold a newborn bAby,
B F#
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
B E
But greater still the calm assurance
B F#
This child can face uncertain days

because He Lives!

3. And then one day, I'll cross the river,
B F#
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
B E
And then, as death gives way to victory
B F#
I'll see the lights of glory and
B
I'll know He lives!
