Chapters

God sent his son. They called him Jesus. He came to love. He learned forgive. He lived and died to buy my pardon. An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives. Because he lives, I can face tomorrow. Because he lives, all fear is gone. He rose and lived. Love me, loves the future, and life is worth living just because he lives. How sweet to love 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. 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 living just because he lives. It's way to victory. I'll see the lights of Berlin under the flames. 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 living just because he lives. 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 living just Because he lives.
