Because He Lives (Performed by Various Artists) (written by Bill Gaithers, Gloria Gaithers)
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, I know, I know He holds the future. And life is worth the living just because He lives.
How sweet to hold a new born baby, and feel the pride and joy he gives. But greater still is that assurance the 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, I know, I know He hold the future. And life is worth the living just because He lives.
And then one day, I'll cross that river. I'll fight life's final war with pain. And then as death gives way to victory. I'll see the light of glory and I'll know that He lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, I know, I know He hold the future. And life is worth the living just because He lives.
We knew He was dead It is finished, He said We had watched as His life ebbed away Then we all stood around Till the guards took Him down Joseph begged for His body that day
It was late afternoon When we got to the tomb Wrapped his body and sealed up the grave So I know how you feel His death was so real But please listen and hear what I say
I've just seen Jesus I tell you He's alive I've just seen Jesus Our precious Lord alive And I knew, He really saw me too As if till now, I'd never lived All that I'd done before Won't matter anymore I've just seen Jesus And I'll never be the same again
It was His voice she first heard Those kind gentle words Asking what was her reason for tears And I sobbed in despair My Lord is not there He said, Child! It is I, I am here!
I've just seen Jesus I tell you He's alive I've just seen Jesus Our precious Lord alive And I knew, He really saw me too As if till now, I'd never lived All that I'd done before Won't matter anymore I've just seen Jesus I've just seen Jesus I've just seen Jesus All that I'd done before Won't matter anymore I've just seen Jesus And I'll never be the same again I've just seen Jesus!
