[----- Meaning ----]
because he lives i can face tomorrow
because he lives all fear is gone
because i know, yes i know he holds the future
and life is worth the living just because he lives
—
how sweet to hold
a new born baby
and feel the pride
and the joy that he gives
but greater still that calm assurance
we can face uncertain days
(holding)
we can face uncertain days
because he lives
sing it with us
and 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
we’ll all cross that river
and 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 reigns
because he lives i can face tomorrow
because he lives all fear is gone
because i know, i know he holds the future
and life is worth the living just because he lives
