Because He Lives lyrics

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 savior lives Because he lives I can face tomorrow Because he lives All fear is gone Because i know He holds the future And life and is worth the living Just because he lives 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 And then one day I'll cross the river I'll fight life's fi- Nal war with pain And then as death Gives way to victory I'll see the lights Of glory and I'll know he lives
