              F                    A#
God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
            F                 C
He came to love, heal and forgive
              F              A#
He lived and died to buy my pardon
           F                 C              F
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives

Chorus:
            F                  A#    Gm
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
            F                  C
Because He lives, all fear is gone
          F Gm F/A              A#   Gm
Because I know    He holds the future
             F
And life is worth the living
 C               F
Just because He lives

How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and the joy he gives
But greater still, the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days because He lives

Chorus - x2

Because He lives, because He lives
Because He lives, because He lives
Because He lives, because He lives
Because He lives, because He lives
Because He lives, because He lives
