Because He lives<\/a><\/p>\nWords and music by William J. Gaither<\/p>\n
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
\nHe came to love, heal and forgive;
\nHe lived and died to buy my pardon,
\nAn empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!<\/p>\n
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
\nBecause He lives, all fear is gone;
\nBecause I know He holds the future,
\nAnd life is worth the living,
\nJust because He lives!<\/p>\n
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
\nAnd feel the pride and joy he gives;
\nBut greater still the calm assurance:
\nThis child can face uncertain days because He Lives!
\nAnd then one day, I’ll cross the river,
\nI’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
\nAnd then, as death gives way to vict’ry,
\nI’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
