| lyric | 1. God sent His Son, they called Him, Jesus,
He came to love, heal and for ggive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Saviour lives.
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.
2. How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm as surance:
This child can face uncertain days because Christ lives.
3. And then one day I’ll cross the river,
I’ll fight lief’s final war with pain;
And then as death gives way to victr’y,
Ill see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives. |
