“Because He Lives” Lyrics
Verse 1
God sent His Son 
They called Him Jesus
He came to love 
Heal and forgive
He bled and died 
To buy my pardon
An empty grave 
Is there to prove
My Savior lives
Chorus
Because He lives
 I can face tomorrow
Because He lives 
All fear is gone
Because I know 
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
Verse 2
How sweet to hold 
Our newborn baby
And feel the pride 
And joy he gives
But greater still 
The calm assurance
This child can face
 Uncertain days
Because Christ lives
Verse 3
And then one day
 I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death 
Gives way to vict'ry
I'll see the lights of glory
And I'll know He reigns
