Acappella Because He Lives
We can live because Jesus lives
God sent His Son
They call 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 (Jesus lives)
Chorus:
Because He lives (my Jesus lives), I can face tomorrow (face tomorrow)
Because He lives (my Jesus lives), all fear is gone (fear is gone)
Because I know (one thing I know) He holds the future
And life is worth the living (life is worth it) just because He lives (Jesus lives)
How sweet to hold our newborn baby (sweet to hold, so sweet to hold, a baby boy, a baby girl)
And feel the pride and joy He gives (feel the pride, pride and joy, the joy He gives, the love He gives)
But greater still, this calm assurance (greater still, greater still, assurance, assurance)
This child can face uncertain days because He lives (child can face uncertain days because Jesus lives)
Repeat Chorus
And then one day, I'll cross the river
I'll fight final, final war, that war with pain
And then as death gives way to vict'ry
I'll see the light of glory then I'll know He lives
Repeat Chorus (with stepouts replacing background)
And life is worth the living just because He lives (He lives, He lives, life is worth it just because)
He lives
