Verse 1

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 D G            C
Because I know He holds the future,
            G
And life is worth the living,
D            G
Just because He lives!

Verse 2

G            C
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
           G           D       D7
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
            G    G7          C
But greater still the calm assurance:
            G            D            G
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

Verse 3

G            C
And then one day, I'll cross the river,
            G         D       D7
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
            G    G7            C
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
            G            D            G
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
