Because Jesus Christ Is Alive

E  B C#m  G#m F#m  E B  B 

C#m F#m G#m

[Verse 1]
E              C#m
 We get tired, we canʼt win
F#m            B
 We were dead in our sin
E                      C#m
 But thereʼs a hope, a new life
F#m                         B7
 The pressureʼs off, cause Jesus 
Christʼs alive

[Pre-Chorus]
A              E                 
 So we can rejoice, though weʼre 
            C#m         G#m
grieved by various trials for a 
little while
Continues after the ad
A                  E       
 ʻcause a genuine faith under 
            C#m               B
testing brings honor and glory to 
our great King

[Chorus]
E                C#m             
 By Godʼs great mercy we have 
        F#m           B
been born again because Jesus Christ
 is alive
E            C#m        
 Our living hope is in our 
       F#m               B
inheritance, because Jesus Christ is
 alive
C#m         G#m                A
 No grip of fear, no sting in 
             C#m               
death, by His mercy we have been 
F#m
born again
          B               E
 because Jesus Christ is alive

[Verse 2]
E              C#m
We donʼt have to bear the load
F#m            B
We donʼt have to have control
E              C#m
We are free from guilt and shame
F#m                   B7
ʻcause when He rose, he left death 
in itʼs grave

[Bridge]
A            E/G#              
 No grip of fear, no sting in 
F#m            E
death, because Jesus Christ is alive
A            E/G#              
 Weʼre free from guilt, weʼre 
F#m            E
free from shame, because Jesus 
Christ is alive
A            E/G#              
 Weʼre free to live for Jesusʼ 
F#m            E
fame, because Jesus Christ is alive
