G C God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus G D D7 He came to love, heal and forgive G G7 C Cm He lived and died to buy my pardon G Em Am D7 G An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!Verse 1:
G C Because He lives, I can face tomorrow G A D7 Because He lives, all fear is gone G G7 C Cm Because I know He holds the future G Em And life is worth the living Am D7 G Just because He lives! G C How sweet to hold a newborn baby G D D7 And feel the pride and joy he gives G G7 C Cm But greater still the calm assurance G Em Am D7 G This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!G C And then one day, I'll cross the river G D D7 I'll fight life's fi-nal war with pain G G7 C Cm And then, as death gives way to vict'ry G Em Am D7 G I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
