BECAUSE HE LIVES

SUNDAY IN THE SON

.

I know of no other song that ministers to me like this song. As we close out 2008 and enter 2009, I pray that the song encourages you to live more in step with Jesus as you see how He lives in you, around you, and works through you.

.

When my friend returned from Korea last year, she told me that on a Sunday morning her daughter took her to one of Korea's very large christian churches. They were a little late. As they walked through the doors, she was overcome with emotion as she heard this large assembly singing BECAUSE HE LIVES in a foreign tongue and yet she knew every word that they sang. HE LIVES!

Because He Lives lyrics

1.
God sent His son,they called Him, Jesus;

He came to love, heal and forgive;

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!



Chorus

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!

.

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!

Chorus
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!

Chorus
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!
