Bb F Bb7 Eb C7

[Pre-verse]
            Bb        G7      C  
 And life is worth the living, 
    F        Bb     Eb Bb
just because He lives!


[Verse 1]
Bb                                 
 God sent His son, they called Him,
Eb
 Jesus;
           Bb                F     
 He came to love, heal and forgive;
F7

            Bb   Bb7       Eb     
 He bled and died to buy my 
 C7
pardon,
         Bb                F      
 An empty grave is there to prove 
        Bb     Eb Bb
my Jesus lives!


[Chorus]
Bb                Bb7      
 Because He lives, I can face 
    Eb
tomorrow,
           Bb                 F   
 Because He lives, all fear is 
   F7
gone;
          Bb F Bb              
 Because I kno--w  He holds the
Eb      C7
 future,

 My life is worth the living,
C      F        Bb     G
 Just because He lives!


[Verse 2]
             C                    
 And then one day, I'll cross that 
F
river,
           C                       
 I'll fight life's final war, 
                Dm    G
life's final war with pain;
             C     C7           F
 And then, as death gives way to 
        F7
vict'ry,
             C               G    
 I'll see the lights of glory and 
            C            F C
I'll know my Jesus lives!

 Because He lives, I can face 
    F
tomorrow,
           C                  Dm  
 Because He lives, all fear is 
  G
gone;

 Because I kno-w He holds the

 Just because He lives!
