Because he lives

KEY

B  

1. God sent His son,

                            E  

they called Him, Jesus;

                     B                          F#

He came to love, heal and forgive

                     B                      E  

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

                   B  

An empty grave is there

         F#                   B  

to prove my Savior lives!


                           B       B7  

***Because He lives,

                     E  

I can face tomorrow

                      B                      F#

Because He lives, all fear is gone

                  B       B7                E  

Because I know He holds the future,

                 B  

And life is worth the living,

F#                        B  

Just because He lives!


                            B                     E  

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

                      B  

because He Lives!


                          B                           E  

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!
