Because He Lives 222

Kristin Chenoweth

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:

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow

Because He lives, all fear is gone

Because I know He holds the future

And life is worth the living, just because He lives

verse#2

How sweet to hold a newborn baby

And feel the pride and joy He gives

But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain day, because He lives

chorus:

// Because He lives, I can face tomorrow//
// Because He lives, all fear is gone//

//Because I know He holds the future//
// And life is worth the living, just because He lives //

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 reigns

chorus:

// Because He lives, I can face tomorrow//

// Because He lives, all fear is gone//

//Because I know He holds the future//

// And life is worth the living, just because He lives //
