THERE WAS A MAN, HIS NAME WAS JESUS
HE CAME TO DIE, HEAL AND RESTORE
BUT GREATER STILL THE CALM ASSURANCE
WE 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 THE FUTURE
AND LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING, JUST BECAUSE HE LIVES!
AND THEN ONE DAY, I'LL CROSS THAT RIVER
I'LL FIGHT LIFE'S FINAL WAR WITH PAIN
AND THEN AS DEATH GIVES WAY TO VICTORY
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 THE FUTURE
AND LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING, JUST BECAUSE HE LIVES!
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!
BECAUSE I KNOW, HE HOLDS THE FUTURE
AND LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING, JUST BECAUSE HE LIVES!
