[Intro: Bill Gaither]
Stand, you want to sing it now?
Sing it with me

[Verse 1: Bill Gaither]
God sent His Son
They called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He bled and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives

[Chorus: Bill Gaither]
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

[Verse 2: Bill Gaither]
How sweet to hold our newborn baby
And feel the pride and the joy he gives
But greater still, the calm assurance (we can face)
We can face uncertain days because He lives

[Chorus: Bill Gaither]
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
[Verse 3: Bill Gaither]
And then one day (sing it!)
I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death gives way to vict'ry
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives

[Chorus: Bill Gaither]
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future (life is)
And life is worth the living just because He lives

[Outro: Keith Getty]
Everybody, Mr. Bill Gaither!
