G                      C 
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus; 
      G          D      D7 
He came to love, heal and forgive; 
            G    G7        C 
He lived and died to buy my pardon, 
     G                     D             G 
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives! 
Chorus
           G     G7          C 
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, 
          G                D 
Because He lives, all fear is gone; 
        G                  C 
Because I know He holds the future, 
          G 
And life is worth the living, 
D           G 
Just because He lives! 
 
Verse 2
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 days because 
He Lives! 
 
Chorus
 
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
