Because He Lives

[Verse 1]

G C

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;

G D D7

He came to love, heal and forgive;

G G7 C

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

G D G

An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

[Chorus]

G G7 C

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

G D

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

G D G C

Because I know He holds the future,

G

And life is worth the living,

D G

Just because He lives!

[Verse 2]

G C

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,

G D D7

And feel the pride and joy he gives;

G G7 C

But greater still the calm assurance:

G D G

This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

[Chorus]

G G7 C

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

G D

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

G D G C

Because I know He holds the future,

G

And life is worth the living,

D G

Just because He lives!

[Verse 3]

G C

And then one day, I'll cross the river,

G D D7

I'll fight life's final war with pain;

G G7 C

And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,

G D G

I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

[Chorus]

G G7 C

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

G D

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

G D G C

Because I know He holds the future,

G

And life is worth the living,

D G

Just because He lives!

G G7 C

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

G D

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

G D G C

Because I know He holds the future,

G

And life is worth the living,

D G

Just because He lives!
