Because He Lives chords

[E]God sent His Son,[A] they call[E]ed him Jesus,
[B7]He came to love, heal and forgive;
[E]He lived and died,[A] to buy[E] my pardon,
[B7]An emp[E]ty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
[E]Because He lives,[A] I can fac[E]e tomorrow,
[B7]Because He lives, all fear is gone;
[E]Because I know He [A]holds t[E]he future,
[B7]And li[E]fe is worth the living just because He lives.

[E]How sweet to hold[A] a newborn[E] baby,
[B7]And feel the pride, and joy he gives;
[E]But sweeter still [A]the cal[E]m assurance,
[B7]This c[E]hild can face uncertain days because He lives.
[E]Because He lives,[A] I can fac[E]e tomorrow,
[B7]Because He lives, all fear is gone;
[E]Because I know He [A]holds t[E]he future,
[B7]And li[E]fe is worth the living just because He lives.

[E]And then one day [A]I'll cross[E] the river,
[B7]I'll fight live's final war with pain;
[E]And then as death [A]gives w[E]ay to victory,
[B7]I'll s[E]ee the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.
[E]Because He lives,[A] I can fac[E]e tomorrow,
[B7]Because He lives, all fear is gone;
[E]Because I know He [A]holds t[E]he future,
[B7]And li[E]fe is worth the living just because He lives.
