Gaither Vocal Band - Because He Lives

      [Verse 1]
              G                    C
God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
            G   Em              Am  D
He came to love,   heal and forgive
             G  G7            C
He gave His life   to buy my pardon
          G                 D               G     D
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

[Chorus]
            G    G7               C
Because He lives,   I can face tomorrow
            G    Em              Am  D
Because He lives,   all fear is gone
           G       G7                C
Because I know, I know He holds the future
              G
And life is worth the living
  D              G
Just because He lives!

[Verse 2]
              G   G7             C
How sweet to hold    a new born baby
              G    Em             Am   D
And feel the pride    and joy he gives
              G   G7             C
But greater still    the calm assurance
                G              D               G     D
This child can face uncertain days because He lives!

[Verse 3]
              G                      C
And then one day,    I'll cross the river
                   G    Em        Am   D
I'll fight life's final war with grace
              G   G7               C
And then as death    gives way to victory
              G               D                G     D
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!
