God sent his son
They called him Jesus
He came to love
Heal and forgive

He lived and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave to prove
My savior lives

Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because he lives

And then one day
I'll cross the river
I'll fight life's final
War with pain
And then as death
Gives way to victory
I'll see the lights of glory
And I'll know he reigns
Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because he lives

Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because he lives
And my life is worth the living
Just because he lives
