Because He Lives- 562

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 fell the pride and joy that 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 fives way to victory,
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know he reigns.

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.
