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
2)
HOW SWEET TO HOLD A NEW BORN BABY
AND TO FEEL THE PRIDE AND JOY IT GIVES
BUT GREATER STILL IS THE CALM ASSURANCE
THIS CHILD CAN FACE UNCERTAIN DAYS
BECAUSE HE LIVES .
3)
AND THEN ONE DAY I’LL CROSS THAT 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 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.
TAG)
BECAUSE I KNOW HE HOLDS THE FUTURE
AND LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING
JUST BECAUSE HE LIVES !
