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.

The hope of the believer is wrapped up in the second coming of Jesus Christ. He is coming and His return brings us hope for all our tomorrows


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 day 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 reigns.


William J. and Gloria Gaither
