Gaither Vocal Band – Because He Lives (Guitar)

    C/D        G   G/B
God sent  His Son, 

                C     Am7
They called Him Jesus

   C/D      G    Bm7/F#   Em7
He came to love, 

    G/D     Am7    D
Heal and forgive

   C/D       G  G/B                             
He lived and died          

           C    
To buy my pardon

 Cm6      G/D               Am/D
An empty grave is there to prove

   C/D  D    G    C/G  G
My  Saviour lives

  C/D   D    G     G/B
Because He lives, 

            C       G/B  Am7
I can face tomorrow

  C/D      Gmaj7   Em7
Because He lives

             Am7    D
All fear is gone

   C/D  D  G   F/A G/B
Because I know  

    G7       C     G/B   Am7
He holds the future

    Cm6       G/D            Am/D
And life is worth the living just 

   C/D   D   G   C/G   G
Because He lives

    C/D        G   G/B
How sweet to hold, 

           C     Am7
a newborn baby

   C/D      G    Bm7/F#   Em7
And feel the pride, 

    G/D     Am7    D
and joy He gives

   C/D       G  G/B                             
But greater still         

           C
the calm assurance

 Cm6/A      G/D               Am/D
This child can face uncertain days

   C/D  D    G    C/G  G
Because He lives

    C/D        G   G/B
And then one day, 

                C     Am7
I'll cross the river

   C/D      G    Bm7/F#   Em7
I'll fight life's final

    G/D     Am7    D
war with pain

   C/D       G  G/B                             
And then as death        

           C
gives way to victory

 Cm6      G/D               Am/D
I'll see the lights of glory

   C/D  D    G    C/G  G
and I'll know He lives!
