Because He Lives Lyrics

BECAUSE HE LIVES(1971)Ab4/4
W By Bill & Gloria Gaither M By William (Bill) Gaither
CCLI Number: 16880
1. God sent His [A] Son, they called him [D] Jesus;
He came to [A] love, heal, and forgive; [E7]
He lived and [A] died to buy my [D] pardon,
An empty [A] grave is there to [E7] prove my Savior [A] lives.
Chorus:
Because He lives, I can face to [D] morrow;
Because He [A] lives, all fear is gone; [E7]
Because I [A] know He holds the [D] future,
And life is [A] worth the living, just be [E7] cause He [A] lives.
2. How sweet to hold a new born baby,
And feel the pride and joy he (she) gives;
But greater still, the calm assurance.

This child can face uncertain days, because He lives.
3. And then one day, I'll cross that river.
And 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.
