Lyrics

Verse 1
God sent His Son

They called Him Jesus

He came to love heal and forgive

Verse 2
He bled 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

Verse 3
And then one day

I'll cross that river

I'll fight life's final war with pain

Verse 4
And then as death

Gives way to victory

I'll see the lights of glory

And I'll know He reigns

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

Tag
And life is worth

The living just because He lives

Lyrics

When the enemy surrounds
And my heart grows faint within
When the darkness overwhelms
And my fears are pressing inI will trust in You, oh, Lord
In the silence I will wait
I will stand upon Your word

You're my solid rock
And my salvation
My steadfast hope
That won't be shaken
My soul will wait
My soul will wait for You

You're my stronghold and my shield
In the midst of every threat
Though the wicked never yield
They will vanish like a breathYes, I know the outcome's sure
Satan's evil plans will fail
In Your power I'm secure

You're my solid rock
And my salvation
My steadfast hope
That won't be shaken
My soul will wait
My soul will wait for You

You're my comfort
When I feel forsaken
My refuge and
My sure foundation
My soul will wait
My soul will wait for You

This is love, I can't explain
This is mercy unreserved
Through Your sacrifice so great
I have peace that's undeserved

For the battle has been won
And I fear no shame or loss
Now the sting of death is gone

You're my solid rock
And my salvation
My steadfast hope
That won't be shaken
My soul will wait
My soul will wait for You

You're my comfort
When I feel forsaken
My refuge and
My sure foundation
My soul will wait
My soul will wait for You

Pouring out our hearts before You
We will trust in You
Perfect Savior, strong defender
We will trust in You

Lyrics

How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope

Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior, I'm Yours forever
Jesus Christ, my living hope

Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope

Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Jesus, Yours is the victory, whoa!

Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope

Jesus Christ, my living hope
Oh God, You are my living hope
