How sweet to hold our newborn baby And feel the pride and the joy that He gives But greater still the calm assurance We can face uncertain days because He lives Because He lives, I can face tomorrow Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know, He holds the future And life is worth the living just 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, I can face tomorrow Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know, He holds the future And life is worth the living just because He lives He lives
