526. Because He Lives

Eb                     Eb7        Ab
God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus,
           Eb Fm  Eb Cm    Eb  Am7 Gbm7 Bb7
He came to love,     heal, and for-give;
Bb7          Eb      Eb7    Ab
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
         Eb                Bb7             Eb
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives I can face to-morrow,
           Eb Bb Eb             Gbm7 Bb7
Because He lives    all fear is gone;
Bb7       Eb Fm  Eb    Eb7       Ab
Because I know      He holds the future.
            Eb        Ab  Eb  Bb7             Eb
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.
