Cantique de Louons-Le: BECAUSE HE LIVES

God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus He came to love, heal and forgive He lived and died and bought my pardon An empty tomb is there to prove My Saviour Lives

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know He holds my future And life is worth a-living just because He lives

How sweet to hold a new born baby And feel the pride and joy it gives But greater still the calm assurance This child can face uncertain days Because He lives

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know He holds my future And life is worth a-living just because He lives

And then one day I’ll cross the river I’ll fight life’s final war with death And then as death gives way to vict’ry I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know He holds my future And life is worth a-living just because He lives
