Wanda Jackson: "Because He Lives" Lyrics

BECAUSE HE LIVES

Writer Bill Gaither

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 Is There To Prove My Savior Lives.

Chorus:

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

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 Day Because He Lives.

Chorus

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 Vict'ry,

I'll See The Lights Of Glory And I'll Know He Reigns.

Chorus
