God sent His son (Because He Lives)

.i Gloria & William J Gaither



.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 Saviour lives.



.0

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.



.2

How sweet to hold 

a new-born baby,

And feel the pride 

and joy he gives;

But greater still 

the calm assurance,

This child can face uncertain 

days because He lives.



.3

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.
