Because He Lives
by Gloria and William Gaither,1971.

(Chorus)
A       E   A                A7  D
Because He lives, I can face to-mor-row,
            A    E7 A      Fm      Bm7  E7 
Because He lives,     all fear is gone;
E7  A    E  A E7 A7              D 
Be-cause I know     He holds the future,
     E7      A/E  A7  F7      Bm      E7       A
And life is worth the living- just because He lives.

(Verse 1)

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 Savior Lives.
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
How sweet to hold a new born baby,
and feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still, the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
(Chorus)
(Verse 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)
