God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and 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
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives

And then one day, I'll cross the river
I’ll fight life's final war with pain
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry
I’ll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives
