God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus,

He came to love,     heal, and for-give;

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives    all fear is gone;

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.
