Because He Lives chords

[Verse 1] 

G                                  C

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus; 

           G              D       D7

He came to love, heal and forgive; 

             G    G7        C

He lived and died to buy my pardon, 

         G                 D               G

An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives! 

 

[Chorus] 

G               G7           C

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, 

           G                  D

Because He lives, all fear is gone; 

          G D G             C

Because I know He holds the future, 

            G

And life is worth the living, 

D               G

Just because He lives! 

 

[Verse 2] 

G                           C

How sweet to hold a newborn baby, 

           G           D       D7

And feel the pride and joy he gives; 

             G    G7          C

But greater still the calm assurance: 

               G              D               G

This child can face uncertain days because He Lives! 

 

[Chorus] 

G               G7           C

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, 

           G                  D

Because He lives, all fear is gone; 

          G D G             C

Because I know He holds the future, 

            G

And life is worth the living, 

D               G

Just because He lives! 

 

[Verse 3] 

G                                C

And then one day, I'll cross the river, 

                  G         D       D7

I'll fight life's final war with pain; 

             G    G7            C

And then, as death gives way to vict'ry, 

             G               D                G

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

 

[Chorus] 

G               G7           C

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, 

           G                  D

Because He lives, all fear is gone; 

          G D G             C

Because I know He holds the future, 

            G

And life is worth the living, 

D               G

Just because He lives! 

 

[Outro] 

G               G7           C

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, 

           G                  D

Because He lives, all fear is gone; 

          G D G             C

Because I know He holds the future, 

            G

And life is worth the living, 

D               G

Just because He lives!
