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, And 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, our new-born 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 that 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 reigns.
