Verse 1:
[G]God sent His son, they called Him, [C]Jesus;
He came to [G]love, heal and [Am]forgive; [D7]
He lived and [G]died [G7]to buy my [C]pardon,
An empty [G]grave is there to [D]prove my Savior [G]lives!
Chorus:
[G]Because He [G7]lives, I can face [C]tomorrow,
Because He [G]lives, all fear is [D]gone;
Because I [G] [C]know [G]He holds the [C]future,
And life is [G]worth the living,
[D]Just because He [G]lives!
Verse 2:
[G]How sweet to hold a newborn [C]baby,
And feel the [G]pride and joy he [D] [D7]gives;
But greater [G]still [G7]the calm [C]assurance:
This child can [G]face uncertain [D]days because He [G]Lives!
Chorus:
[G]Because He [G7]lives, I can face [C]tomorrow,
Because He [G]lives, all fear is [D]gone;
Because I [G] [C]know [G]He holds the [C]future,
And life is [G]worth the living,
[D]Just because He [G]lives!
Verse 3:
[G]And then one [A]day, I’ll cross the [D]river,
I’ll fight life’s [A]final war with [E] [E7]pain;
And then, as [A]death [A7]gives way to [D]vict’ry,
I’ll see the [A]lights of glory [E]and I’ll know He [A]lives
Chorus:
[A]Because He [A7]lives, I can face [D]tomorrow,
Because He [A]lives, all fear is [E]gone;
Because I [A] [D]know [A]He holds the [D]future,
And life is [A]worth the living,
[E]Just because He [A]lives!
Outro:
[A]Because He [A7]lives, I can face [D]tomorrow,
Because He [A]lives, all fear is [E]gone;
Because I [A] [D]know [A]He holds the [D]future,
And life is [A]worth the living,
[E]Just because He [A]lives!
