Lyrics:
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!

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!

please don't refer to a fairly contemporary hymn as 'traditional'.This is only 40 yrs old & compared to some of the standards of Fanny Crosby, Issac Watts etc....this is still a babe. I'm sure it will become something more.....if the Lord doesn't come first !

Love love love! :) Especially like the simple guitar music so I am able to focus more on the words. :)
