Section 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

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 th

e pride and

joy he g

ives;

But greater s

till

the calm ass

urance:

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

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 pai

And then, as

death

gives way to

vict'ry,

I'll see the

lights of glory

and I'll know He

lives!
