### ————————— 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: ————————————————————————————————————————————————————

And 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 days, because Christ lives

### ————————— Verse 3: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————

And then one day, I'll cross that river

I'll fight life's final, war with pain

And then as death, gives way to vict'ry

I'll see the lights, of glory and I'll know, He reigns
