God sent his Son They called him Jesus He came to love He planned to forgive He gave and he died To buy my pardon An empty grave is there To prove My Savior lives CHORUS: And because he lives I can face tomorrow Because he lives All my 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 that river I'll fight life's final war today And then his death gives way to victory I'll see the lights of glory And I'll know he reigns CHORUS
