##(Verse 1) God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus, He came to love, heal, and fo rgive ; He lived and died to buy my pardon; An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives. ##(Verse 2) How sweet to hold a newborn baby and feel the pride and joy he gives ; But greater still the calm a ssurance This child can face uncertain days because He 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 lives. ##(Chorus 1) Because He lives, I can face t omorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I k now He holds the future, And life is worth the living just because He lives.
