He Lives - Lyrics and Chords | Praise and worship hymn

G.   C

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;

G.    D D7

He came to love, heal and forgive;

G G7.    C

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

 G

An empty grave is there 

D.   G

To prove my Savior lives!

CHORUS:

G.   G7    C

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

G.   D

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

 G D G.   C

Because I know He holds the future,

G

And life is worth the living,

D.   G

Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,

And feel the pride and joy he gives;

But greater still the calm assurance:

This child can face uncertain days because 

He lives!

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 victory,

I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know 

He lives!
