She woke up in the middle of the night.
She couldn't feel the loved one by her side.
'Cause yesterday she laid him to rest,
But now she can't find any herself.
Let the Peace that passes what you understand,
Hold you now in the palm of His hand.
And when you can't take what this world has to give,
You can face it because Jesus lives...
You can face it because Jesus lives!
He's eight years old now, but the day's drawing nigh,
When he'll tell his momma and daddy "Goodbye."
Though cancer set in, they continue to pray,
As the glimmer of hope is fading away.
Let the Peace that passes what you understand,
Hold you now in the palm of His hand.
And when you can't take what this world has to give,
You can face it because Jesus lives...
You can face it because Jesus lives!
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know, He holds the future...
My life is worth living just because Jesus lives!
Let the Peace that passes what you understand,
Hold you now in the palm of His hand.
And when you can't take what this world has to give,
You can face it because Jesus lives...
You can face it because Jesus lives!
