God sent his son 
They called him Jesus 
He came to love, heal and forgive 
He bled and died 
To buy my pardon 
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior 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 the living just because he lives

How sweet to hold 
A new born baby 
And feel the pride 
And joy he gives 
But better still 
The calm assurance 
That child can face uncertain days because he 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 the living just because he lives

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

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 the living just 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 the living just because he lives
