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 day 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 reigns.
Chorus
