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!
