Because He Lives ( Words and Music By Bill Gaither - Sequenced by Redsal)
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.
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.
How sweet to hold
A new born 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)
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.
