because he lives lyrics

Here are the full lyrics to the hymn "Because He 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 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 sweeter 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. These lyrics were written by Bill and Gloria Gaither and are a powerful Christian hymn about faith, hope, and the assurance of life because of Jesus Christ.
