V1

    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          
           C    
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

V2
    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         
           C
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

V3
    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        
           C
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!
