How sweet to hold a brand new baby And feel the pride and joy He brings But better still the calm assurance Our boy 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 a 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 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 He holds the future And life is worth a living, just because He lives Our life is worth a living, just because He lives
