Because HE Lives!

They just don't write 'em like this anymore! Miss singing hymns like this in church.


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!
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.

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 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.
And 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.
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
