G5                                  C5 
God sent His son, they called Him , Jesus; 
G5              D5       D5 
He came to love, heal and forgive; 
G5    G5        C5       C5 
He lived and died to buy my pardon, 
G5        E5       A5       D5     G5 
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives! 
 
(Chorus) 
G5                 C5  
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, 
G5                  A5     D5 
Because He lives, all fear is gone; 
          G5    G5             C5      C5 
Because I know   He holds the future, 
            G5         E5 
And life is worth the living, 
A5   D5         G5 
Just because He lives! 
 

G5                           C5 
How sweet to hold a newborn baby, 
G5                D5       D5 
And feel the pride and joy he gives; 
G5     G5          C5       C5 
but greater still the calm assurance: 
G5    E5        A5   D5         G5 
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives! 
 
Chorus 
G5                                C5 
And then one day, I'll cross the river, 
G5               D5     D5 
I'll fight life's fi-nal war with pain; 
G5     G5           C5       C5 
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry, 
G5         E5    A5       D5     G5 
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
