Bill & Gloria Gaither - Because he lives

^GGod sent His son, they called Him, ^Cadd9Jesus; He came to ^Glo^Dve^Am7, heal and for^D7give; He lived and ^Gdied^G7 to buy my ^C/Gpardon, ^Am7 An empty ^Ggrave is there to ^Dprove my Savior ^Gliv^Cadd9es! ^G

^GBecause He liv^G7es, I can face to^C/Gmorrow, Because He ^Glives, all fear is ^Dgone; ^D7 Because I ^Gkn^Dow^G He holds the ^Cadd9future, ^Am7 And life is ^Gworth the living, ^DJust because He ^Gliv^Cadd9es! ^G

^GHow sweet to hold a newborn ^Cadd9baby, And feel the ^Gpr^Did^Am7e and joy he ^D7gives; But greater ^Gstil^G7l the calm ^C/Gassuranc^Am7e: This child can ^Gface uncertain ^Ddays because He ^GLiv^Cadd9es! ^G

^GBecause He liv^G7es, I can face to^C/Gmorrow, Because He ^Glives, all fear is ^Dgone; ^D7 Because I ^Gkn^Dow^G He holds the ^Cadd9future, ^Am7 And life is ^Gworth the living, ^DJust because He ^Gliv^Cadd9es! ^G

^GAnd then one day, I'll cross the ^Cadd9river, I'll fight life's ^Gfi^Dna^Am7l war with ^D7pain; And then, as ^Gdeat^G7h gives way to^C/G vict'r^Am7y, I'll see the ^Glights of glory ^Dand I'll know He^G li^Cadd9ves! ^G

^GBecause He liv^G7es, I can face to^C/Gmorrow, Because He ^Glives, all fear is ^Dgone; ^D7 Because I ^Gkn^Dow^G He holds the ^Cadd9future, ^Am7 And life is ^Gworth the living, ^DJust because He ^Gliv^Cadd9es! ^G

^GBecause He liv^G7es, I can face to^C/Gmorrow, Because He ^Glives, all fear is ^Dgone; ^D7 Because I ^Gkn^Dow^G He holds the ^Cadd9future, ^Am7 And life is ^Gworth the living, ^DJust because He ^Gliv^Cadd9es! ^G
