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!
Chorus
