Because He Lives

 Bill & Gloria Gaither

[Key: Eb]


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!


Chorus

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!


Verse 2

How sweet to hold

A newborn baby,

And feel the pride

And joy he brings;

But greater still

The calm assurance:

This child can face

Uncertain days because He Lives!


Chorus

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!


Verse 3

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!


Chorus

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!
