Because He Lives

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

A               A7           D 
Because He lives, I can face 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! 

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

A               A7           D 
Because He lives, I can face 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! 

            A 
And life is worth the living 
E               A 
Just because He lives!
