BECAUSE HE LIVES

The Son of God, they called Him
Jesus,
He came to save, heal and forgive,
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove
my Saviour 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.

The world today has nailed my Jesus,
Upon a cross, a cross of shame,
This second death has given victory,
The Bride now knows
He had to die that she could live.

I know today that He is living,
The Word of God is manifest,
The Bride of Christ has seen His
Body,
The opening up of the Seven
Seals now proves He lives.

Now soon one day,
I’ll cross that river, I’ll conquer death
the grave and man,
And as His shame gives me the victory.
I’ll shout through eternity
because He lives.
