[Verse 1]

C/D G G/B

God sent His Son,

C Am7
They called Him Jesus

C/D G Bm7/F# Em7

He came to love,

G/D Am7 D

Heal and forgive

C/D G G/B

He lived and died

To buy my pardon

Cm6 G/D Am/D

An empty grave is there to prove

C/D D G C/G G

My Saviour lives

[Chorus]

C/D D G G/B

Because He lives,

C G/B Am7

I can face tomorrow

C/D Gmaj7 Em7

Because He lives

Am7 D

All fear is gone

C/D D G F/A G/B

Because I know

G7 C G/B Am7

He holds the future

Cm6 G/D Am/D

And life is worth the living just

C/D D G C/G G

Because He lives

[Verse 2]

C/D G G/B

How sweet to hold,

C Am7
a newborn baby

C/D G Bm7/F# Em7

And feel the pride,

G/D Am7 D

and joy He gives

C/D G G/B

But greater still

the calm assurance

Cm6/A G/D Am/D

This child can face uncertain days

C/D D G C/G G

Because He lives

[Verse 3]

C/D G G/B

And then one day,

C Am7
I'll cross the river

C/D G Bm7/F# Em7

I'll fight life's final

G/D Am7 D

war with pain

C/D G G/B

And then as death

gives way to victory

Cm6 G/D Am/D

I'll see the lights of glory

 C/D D G C/G G

and I'll know He lives!
