Because He Lives
Ben Speer Lyrics

How sweet to hold a newborn baby
It's heartwarming to embrace a newborn and feel the pride and happiness it brings

And feel the pride and the joy that he gives
You experience a sense of accomplishment and a gush of delight when you hold a newborn baby

Oh but greater still, the calm assurance
Even more significant is the inner tranquility and conviction that arises from a belief in God

We can face uncertain days because He lives
Despite facing unpredictable and challenging times, we remain courageous and optimistic because of God's existence

And because He lives, I can face tomorrow
With the knowledge that God continues to exist, one can face the future with optimism and confidence

Because He lives, all fear is gone
The absence of fear arises from the certainty of God's existence and protection

Because I know He holds the future
The assurance of God's eternal existence equates to an awareness that He controls the future

And life is worth a living just because He lives
The essence and value of life is maintained because of God's unending existence

And then one day, I'll cross that river
One day, we'll pass on to the afterlife

I'll fight life's final war with pain
We'll endure the ultimate challenge of pain during our last moments

And then as death gives way to victory
Following death and the struggle of pain, we'll achieve triumph and freedom

I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He reigns
After the battle of life and death, we'll witness the majesty of God and acknowledge His dominance

He lives, He lives
God endures eternally, and His influence and presence continue to exist without fail
