Because He Lives

Mark 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

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.


Every redeemed sinner is a testimony to the life-changing, life-giving power of the risen Christ.


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!
