Verse 1 
 
G                                  C 
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus; 
           G              D       D7 
He came to love, heal and forgive; 
             G    G7        C       Cm 
He lived and died to buy my pardon, 
         G        Em       Am       D7     G 
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives! 
 
Chorus 
 
           G                 C  
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, 
           G                  A     D7 
Because He lives, all fear is gone; 
          G    G7             C      Cm 
Because I know   He holds the future, 
            G         Em 
And life is worth the living, 
Am   D7         G 
Just because He lives! 
 
Verse 3 
 
G                                C 
And then one day, I'll cross the river, 
                  G               D     D7 
I'll fight life's fi-nal war with pain; 
             G     G7           C       Cm 
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry, 
             G         Em    Am       D7     G 
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
