Because He Lives

John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

In a world of turmoil we can lean on God-given Heavenly peace.


We can trust Him to take care of His own - Phil. 4:6-7; Isa. 26:3.


Because He lives we can face tomorrow.


Because He Lives

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 victory, — I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
