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.
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.
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!
