| God sent His son, |

| An empty grave is there to prove, |
| My Savior lives.... |

| Because He lives, |
| I can face tomorrow; |
| Because He lives...... |
| All fear is gone... |
| Because I kn-o-w.... |
| He holds the future, |
| And life is worth the living, |
| just because He lives... |

| This child can face uncertain days |
| Because lives.... |

| 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.... |
