 6    5  -5   6    
God sent His son,

 7     8   -8  7 -5 -6
they called Him J-e-sus,

-8   7  -6   6   
He came to love

 -6   6  -5   -5
heal and for-give

 6   5   -5    6  
He lived and died

 7 -8   8 -9  -6
to buy my par-don,

 7  7  -8   8   -8   8   
An emp-ty grave is there

 7   6    6 -7  -8    7
to prove my Sav-ior lives.

chorus

 6   7   -8   8   
Be-cause He Lives

8 -9   8   -8  7  -6
I can face to-mor-row,

-8   7   -6   6   
Be-cause He lives

 6    7   8  -8
all fear is gone;

 6   7  -8 8 -9 9  
Be-cause I kn-o-w

 8  -8    8  -9  -6
He holds the fu-ture

 7    7  -8   8    8  -9   8   
And life is worth the liv-ing

 -8  -8   8   -8   7
just be-cause He lives.

verse 2

How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
because He lives.

verse 3

And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final ware with pain;
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
I'll see the lights of glory
and I'll know He lives.
