GOD sent his Son, they called him Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Saviour lives.
2 How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because he lives.
3 And then one day I?ll cross the river;
I?ll fight life?s final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I?ll see the lights of Glory and I?ll know he 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.
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Saviour lives.
2 How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because he lives.
3 And then one day I?ll cross the river;
I?ll fight life?s final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I?ll see the lights of Glory and I?ll know he 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.
