Because He Lives - piano

Words and music by William J. Gaither
© 1971
Matthew 28:6
"He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay."




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 days because He 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!
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 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!

Bro Hopkins has an amazing talent. he is every bit as good as Anthony Burger was. (I hold the HIGHEST regard for his playing and could listen to him all day) I would like to know why he isn't playing for the Gaithers, I could sit and listen to him all day too. thankyou SO much for sharing. God Bless you in every way.

@pianoorganSDA Anthony Burger died on a heartattack during a cruise concert. It was his time to go on. So Gordon Mote filled in for him.

@pianoorganSDA Music is not about better or worse, just different, as we all are. if you play from your heart, then you should know that.

@pianoorganSDA This man is very good and is blessed witha gift from god. He is not of the same style as Anthony Burger, as I listen to the dynamics, chord formations and style, it astounds me you make such a comparison. All that said, in a sense, music is not about better or worse, just different, as we all are.

I hope that the church that this young man plays for appreciates his talents. He is awesome and should be appreciated! Some churches take musicians for granted. I know, I am one!
