Verse 1
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 (I know) He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
Verse 2
The Son of God, He paid my ransom;
Went to the cross, my sins to bear.
No greater love! His life He laid down;
He died for me and thus forever set me free.
Verse 3
Now I serve Him, my living Saviour;
I walk with Him from day to day.
He leads me on the heav’nly pathway;
I know He keeps me in the shadow of His wings.
