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 Saviour lives.
Refrain:
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 victory;
I'll see the lights of glory
and I'll know He reigns.
Refrain:
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.
