Verse 1
God sent His son they called Him Jesus
He came to love heal and for-give
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives
Verse 2
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy He gives
But greater still the calm as-surance
This child can face uncertain day 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 victory
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He reigns
Chorus
Because He lives I can face to-morrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just be-cause He lives.
