             D                     G 
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus; 
           D              A 
He came to love, heal and forgive; 
            D              G       Gm 
He bled and died to buy my pardon, 
         D                 A               D7     G  D 
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,

And feel the pride and joy he brings;

But greater still the calm assurance: 
               D              A               D7     G  D 
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

And then one day, I'll cross the river, 
             D                A 
I'll fight life's fi-nal war with pain; 
              D                 G       Em7 
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry, 
             D         B7    Em7      A       D7     G  D 
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
