God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
           A    E              E7
He came to love... heal and forgive
             A    A7        D
He lived and died... to buy my pardon,
         A                 E               A
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

           A     A7              D
Because He lives... I can face tomorrow,
           A                  E
Because He lives, all fear is gone
          A E A                D
Because I k-n-o-w He holds the future,
            A
And life is worth the living,
E               A
Just because He lives!

A                           D
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
             A     E             E7
And feel the pride... and joy he brings
             A    A7           D
But greater still... the calm assurance
               A              E               A
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

          A E A                D
Because I k-n-o-w He holds the future,

Just because He lives!

             A                   D
And then one day, I'll cross the river,
                  A     E           E7
I'll fight life's final... war with pain
             A     A7              D
And then, as death... gives way to victory,
             A               E                A
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Because He lives, all fear is gone
          A E A                D
Because I k-n-o-w He holds the future,
            A
And life is worth the living,
