The importance of today

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.

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

And then one day

I'll cross the river;

I'll fight life's final war with pain

An then as death gives way to vict'ry,

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

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.
