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. 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. 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 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. 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
