Verse one: 
    C/D       G   G7
God sent His Son
                 C     Am7
They called Him Jesus
   C/D      G    D/F#  Em7
He came to love
             Am7   D
Heal and forgive
              G    G7
He lived and died
           C      Am7
To buy my pardon
         G/D               C/D
An empty grave is there to prove
   D        G
My Saviour lives

Chorus:
   C/D      G    G7/B
Because He lives
            C          Am7
I can face tomorrow
   C/D      G   D/F#   Em7
Because He lives
            Am7   D
All fear is gone
           F/G    G/B
Because I know, I know
              C      Am7
He holds the future
             G/D              C/D
And life is worth the living just
   D         G
Because He lives

Verse two:
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

Verse three:
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 reigns
