BECAUSE HE LIVES

Written by Gloria and William Gaither
Bill Gaither was born in 1936 in Indiana. He and his wife Gloria
have written over 700 songs.
Before long, the world will not see Me anymore,
but you will see Me.
Because I live, you also will live. John 14:19

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.

REFRAIN
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 it gives:
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
(REFRAIN)

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 reigns.
(REFRAIN)
