Because He Lives

"Because He Lives"
 God sent his son
 They called him Jesus
 He came to love, heal and forgive
 He bled and died
 To buy my pardon
 An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives
 Because he lives
 I can face tomorrow
 Because he lives
 All fear is gone
 Because I know he holds the future
 My life is worth the living just because he lives
 And then one day
 I'll cross the river
 I'll fight life's final war with pain
 And then as death
 Gives way to victory
 I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know he lives
 Because he lives
 I can face tomorrow
 Because he lives
 All fear is gone
 Because I know he holds the future
 My life is worth the living just because he lives
 How sweet to hold
 A new born baby
 And feel the pride
 And joy he gives
 But better still
 The calm assurance
 That child can face uncertain days because he lives
 Because he lives
 I can face tomorrow
 Because he lives
 All fear is gone
 Because I know he holds the future
 My life is worth the living just because he lives
 Because he lives
 I can face tomorrow
 Because he lives
 All fear is gone
 Because I know he holds the future
 My life is worth the living just because he lives
