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!

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

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
