Verse 1 

G                                                           C
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
                      G                          D       D7
He came to love, heal and forgive;
                        G                         C       
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
                     G        Em       Am       D7     G
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Chorus

                       G                          C 
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
                       G                       D
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
                    G                               C      
Because I know   He holds the future,
                     G            Em
And life is worth the living,
Am   D7                 G
Just because He lives!

Verse 2

                        G                           C
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
                      G                           D      
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
                     G                       C       
But greater still the calm assurance:
                          G    Em            Am       D7              G
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!


Chorus

                        G                                C
And then one day, I'll cross the river,
                      G                       D    
I'll fight life's fi-nal war with pain;
                          G                            C       
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
                     G         Em    Am       D7            G
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
