Because He Lives (Chords)

G                                                    Cadd9
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
                   G                          D
He came to love, heal and forgive;
                      G                     Cadd9
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
                 G                       D                        G
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives! 

Chorus:

G                                               Cadd9

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

                     G                        D

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

                 G                             Cadd9

Because I know He holds he future,

       G                         D                                    G

And life is worth the living just because He lives!

Verse 2: 

        G                                      Cadd9

How sweet to hold a newborn baby, 

                     G                          D

And feel the pride and joy he gives; 

                    G                       Cadd9

But greater still the calm assurance: 

                        G                       D                           G

This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!


Verse 3: 

                      G                         Cadd9

And then one day, I'll cross the river, 

     G                                    D

I'll fight life's final war with pain; 

                     G                            Cadd9

And then, as death gives way to victory, 

                 G                                 D           G

I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Chorus:

G                                               Cadd9 
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

                   G                       D 
Because He lives, all fear is gone;

                 G                          Cadd9 

Because I know He holds he future, 

        G                       D                          G
 And life is worth the living because He lives!
