He came to love, heal and forgive;
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 new born baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertaindays because Christ
lives
3. 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 vict’ry
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives
