Because He Lives
April Love
Song by Pat Boone
April love is for the very young
Every star's a wishing star that shines for you
April love is all the seven wonders
One little kiss can tell you this is true
Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring
showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don't let her run away
Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring
showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don’t let her run away
Because He Lives
God sent His son But greater still
They called Him Jesus The calm assurance
He came to love The child can face
Heal and forgive Uncertain days
He bled and died Because he lives
To buy my pardon
An empty grave
Is there to prove (Back to Chorus)
My savior lives
Chorus And then one day
I'll cross the river
Because He lives I'll fight life's final
I can face tomorrow war with pain
Because He lives And then as death
All fear is gone Gives way to victory
Because I know I'll see the lights of glory
He holds the future And I'll know He reigns
And life is worth the
living
Just because He lives
(Back to Chorus)
How sweet to hold
A new born baby
And feel the pride
And joy he gives
Because He Lives
Ten Thousand Angel
They bound the hands of Jesus in the garden where He prayed;
They led Him thro' the streets in shame.
They spat upon the Savior so pure and free from sin;
They said, "Crucify Him; He's to blame."
Refrain
He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.
Upon His precious head they placed a crown of thorns;
They laughed and said, "Behold the King!"
They struck Him and they cursed Him and mocked His holy name
All alone He suffered everything.
Refrain
He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.
When they nailed Him to the cross, His mother stood nearby,
He said, "Woman, behold thy son!"
He cried, "I thirst for water," but they gave Him none to drink.
Then the sinful work of man was done.
Refrain
He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.
To the howling mob He yielded; He did not for mercy cry.
The cross of shame He took alone.
And when He cried, "It's finished," He gave Himself to die;
Salvation's wondrous plan was done.
Refrain
He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.
