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
HOW SWEET TO HOLD
OUR NEWBORN BABY
AND FEEL THE PRIDE
AND JOY HE GIVES
BUT GREATER STILL
THAT CALM ASSURANCE
THIS CHILD CAN FACE
UNCERTAIN DAYS
BECAUSE HE LIVES
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 THAT RIVER
I'LL FIGHT
LIFE'S FINAL WAR
WITH PAIN
AND THEN AS DEATH
GIVES WAY TO VICTORY
I'LL SEE THE LIGHTS
OF GLORY
AND I'LL KNOW
HE REIGNS
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
BECAUSE HE LIVES
I CAN FACE TOMORROW
AND LIFE IS WORTH
THE LIVING JUST
BECAUSE HE LIVES
