Because He Lives

Was hoping to finish an A cappella hymn I'd prepared an arrangement of earlier this week, but I didn't have enough time. This song came to mind, was quick to do, and just a wonderful reminder of Resurrection Sunday. One of my favorite by Bill and Gloria Gaither (thank you to someone who reminded me of the original authors - credit where credit is due and I need to remember to do that). Praise the Lord that He lives! If you'd like an MP3 of this video or even an accompaniment version, please send an email to [email protected] with your request. Lyrics: God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus; He came to love, heal and forgive; He bled 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! 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] 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 victory, I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives! [chorus] And life is worth the living, Just because He lives! Written by: Bill and Gloria Gaither Copyright © 1971 Hanna Street Music (BMI) (adm. at CapitolCMGPublishing.com) All rights reserved.
