Because He Lives

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
 He came to love, heal and forgive;
 He lived 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,
 And life is worth the living,
 Just because He lives!
 How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
 And feel the pride and joy he gives;
 But greater still the calm assurance:
 This child can face uncertain days 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,
 And life is worth the living,
 Just because He lives! Because He Lives Because He Lives
