*Verses 1, 3, 4 and 5 are frequently sung

[Verse 1]

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 tomb is there to prove my Saviour 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

[Verse 2]

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,

And feel the pride and joy he gives

But greater still the calm assurance

This child can face uncertain days because He Lives

[Verse 3]

The Son of God, He paid my ransom

Went to the cross, my sins to bear

No greater love His life He laid down

He died for me and thus forever set me free

[Verse 4]

Now I serve Him, my Living Saviour

I walk with Him, from day to day

He leads me on the heav'nly pathway

I know He keeps me in the shadow of His wings

[Verse 5]

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
