Verse 1 
G                                  C 
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus; 
        A  G                 D      
He came to love, heal and forgive; 
             G    G7        C       
He lived and died to buy my pardon, 
      C6 G        G6    G  C6       D6 D   G 
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives! 
 
Chorus 
G                              C  
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, 
        A  G                  A     
Because He lives, all fear is gone; 
          G    G7             C6 C    
Because I know   He holds the fu-ture, 
         C6 G         G6 G 
And life is worth the living, 
C6     D6    D  G 
Just because He lives! 
 
Verse 2 
G                           C 
How sweet to hold a newborn baby, 
         A   G                D      
And feel the pride and joy he gives; 
            G     G7         C       
But greater still the calm assurance: 
           C6  G      G6 G    C6     D6    D  G 
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives! 
 
Verse 3 
G                                C 
And then one day, I'll cross the river, 
           A      G               D     
I'll fight life's fi-nal war with pain; 
             G     G7           C    
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry, 
         C6  G         G6 G  C6       D6   D  G 
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
