Because He Lives merupakan sebuah lagu yang dipopulerkan oleh Bill Gaither, seorang penyanyi rohani Kristen.
Lagu ini bercerita tentang kehadiran Yesus sebagai penyelamat umat manusia.
Berikut ini lirik lagunya.
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!
chorus
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!
how sweet to hold a newborn baby,
and feel the pride and joy he gives;
but greater still the calm -ssurance:
this child can face uncertain days because he lives!
chorus
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!
and then one day, i’ll cross the river,
i’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
and then, as death gives way to vict’ry,
i’ll see the lights of glory and i’ll know he lives!
chorus
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!
