Because He Lives

[Primera Parte]

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!

[Estribillo]

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!

G                           C
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
         G                    D   D7
And feel the pride and joy he gives
            G    G7          C       Cm
But greater still the calm assurance
               G    Em        Am   D7         G
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

[Estribillo]

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!
