Because He lives

	  		
G               G7                    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!  
  
Chorus  

G                 C   
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,  
G                     D       D7  
Because He lives, all fear is gone;  
          G Am G/B               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!  
  
Chorus 
 
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 victory,  
G         Em    Am       D7     G  
I'll see the lights of glory and I?ll know He lives!
