Because He Lives Gloria & William Gaither

Because He Lives #213Because He Lives #213

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.

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 livesI can face tomorrow,

Because He livesAll fear is gone;

Because I know…He holds the future.

And life is worth the livingJust because He lives.

Because He livesI can face tomorrow,

Because He livesAll fear is gone;

Because I know…He holds the future.

And life is worth the livingJust because He lives.

How sweet to holdA newborn baby,

And feel the pride, and joy he gives;

But greater still the calm assurance

this child can face uncertain daysBecause He lives.

How sweet to holdA newborn baby,

And feel the pride, and joy he gives;

But greater still the calm assurance

this child can face uncertain daysBecause He lives.

Because He livesI can face tomorrow,

Because He livesAll fear is gone;

Because I know…He holds the future.

And life is worth the livingJust because He lives.

Because He livesI can face tomorrow,

Because He livesAll fear is gone;

Because I know…He holds the future.

And life is worth the livingJust because He lives.

And then one day

I’ll cross the river,

I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;

And then as deathgives way to victory,

I’ll see the lights of glory

and I’ll know He lives.

And then one day

I’ll cross the river,

I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;

And then as deathgives way to victory,

I’ll see the lights of glory

and I’ll know He lives.

Because He livesI can face tomorrow,

Because He livesAll fear is gone;

Because I know…He holds the future.

And life is worth the livingJust because He lives.

Because He livesI can face tomorrow,

Because He livesAll fear is gone;

Because I know…He holds the future.

And life is worth the livingJust because He lives.
