Because He Lives

G C am7
God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus;
D G
He came to love, heal, and forgive;
G C am7
He lived and died to buy my pardon.
G/D D D/F# G
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
G C am7
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow;
G/D em am7 D
Because He lives all fear is gone;
D/F# G F/G C am7
Because I know He holds the future,
G/D em am7 C/D G
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

G C am7
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
D G
And feel the pride, and joy he gives,
G C am7
But greater still the calm assurance,
G/D D D/F# G
This child can face un-certain days because He lives.
G C am
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow;
G/D em am7 D
Because He lives all fear is gone;
D/F# G F/G C am7
Because I know He holds the future,
G/D em am7 C/D G
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

Because He Lives

G C am7
And then one day, I’ll cross the river;
D G
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
G C am7
And then as death gives way to vict’ry,
G/D D D/F# G
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives.
G C am
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow;
G/D em am7 D
Because He lives all fear is gone;
D/F# G F/G C am7
Because I know He holds the future,
G/D em am7 C/D G
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
