Read the story behind this song

             A
God sent His son
                D
They called Him Jesus
           A    E
He came to love
            E7
Heal and forgive
             A    A7
He lived and died
          D
To buy my pardon
         A
An empty grave is there to
E               A
Prove my Savior lives

           A     A7
Because He lives
             D
I can face tomorrow
           A
Because He lives
            E
All fear is gone
          A   E  A
Because I kn--o--w
             D
He holds the future
            A
And life is worth the living
E               A
Just because He lives

How sweet to hold
A newborn baby
And feel the pride
And joy he brings
But greater still
The calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
Because He Lives

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...
