How sweet to hold a new born baby
And feel the pride and the joy that he gives
But greater still that calm assurance
Oh this child! This child, this child
Can face uncertain days because He livesAnd 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 livesAnd then one day we'll all cross that river
We'll fight life's final war, life's final war with pain
As death gives way to victory
We'll see the lights of glory and we'll know He reignsBecause He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know, I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives
Because He lives
He lives
