Because He lives

G                                  C 
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus 
          G                  D  D7 
He came to love, heal and forgive 
             G  G7          C  Cm 
He lived and died to buy my pardon 
         G        Em       Am       D7     G 
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives! 



G                            C 
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow 
        G                     A     D7 
Because He lives, all fear is gone 
          G     G7             C      Cm 
Because I know   He holds the future 
            G        Em 
And life is worth the living 
Am   D7         G 
Just because He lives! 

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



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