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 gives;

 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 vict'ry,

 I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Chorus

2x):

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!
