life in Him

...thanks for the reminder, God. i needed it. happy resurrection day.

Because He lives

God sent His Son, they called Him, Jesus;

He came to love, heal and forgive;

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

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 know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living,

Just because He lives.

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.

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 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 vict'ry.

I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.
