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!

And feel the pride and joy he gives;

This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

And life is worth the living, 
Just because He lives! 
  
VERSE 3: 
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: 
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!
