2nd verse
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

BECAUSE HE LIVES
Words & Music by William & Gloria Gaither
Sung by JOHN STARNES

God sent his son, they called him Jesus
He came to love, to heal and forgive
He bled and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove
My 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 the living
Just because He lives.

And then one day I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war 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 my 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 the living
Just 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.

My life is worth the living
Just because He lives.
