Because He Lives

Verse 1:
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.

Refrain:
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives
All fear is gone;

Refrain:
Because I know
He holds the future,
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives.

Verse 2:
How sweet to hold
A newborn baby,
And feel the pride
And joy he gives;

Verse 2:
But greater still,
The calm assurance,
This child can face
Uncertain days
Because He lives.

Refrain:
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives
All fear is gone;

Refrain:
Because I know
He holds the future,
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives.

Verse 3:
And then one day
I'll cross that river,
I'll fight life's final
War with pain;

Verse 3:
And then as death
Gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory
And I'll know He reigns.
