Because He Lives

A                                  
God sent His son, they called Him, 
D
Jesus;
           A              E       E7
He came to love, heal and forgive;
             A    A7        D
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
         A                 E      
An empty grave is there to prove 
         A
my Savior lives!


[Chorus]

A               A7        
Because He lives, I can face 
   D
tomorrow,
           A                  E  E7
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
          A E A             D
Because I know He holds the future,
            A
And life is worth the living,
Continues after the ad
E               A
Just because He lives!


[Verse 2]

A                                
And then one day, I'll cross the 
D
river,
                  A         E  
I'll fight life's final war with 
     E7
pain;
             A    A7          
And then, as death gives way to 
  D
victory,
             A               E 
I'll see the lights of glory and 
               A
I'll know He lives!


[Chorus]

A               A7        
Because He lives, I can face 
   D
tomorrow,
           A                  E  E7
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
          A E A             D
Because I know He holds the future,
            A
And life is worth the living,
E               A
Just because He lives!
