526. Because He Lives

Ab                     Ab7        Db
God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus,
           Ab Bbm Ab Fm    Ab  Dm7 Bm7 Eb7
He came to love,     heal, and for-give;
Eb7          Ab      Ab7    Db
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
         Ab                Eb7             Ab
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Eb7        Ab          Ab7     Db
Because He lives I can face to-morrow,
           Ab Eb Ab             Bm7 Eb7
Because He lives    all fear is gone;
Eb7       Ab Bbm Ab    Ab7       Db
Because I know      He holds the future.
            Ab        Db  Ab  Eb7             Ab
And life is worth the liv-ing just because He lives.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Refrain]
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.

[Verse 2]
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.
