And feel the pride and the joy that he gives
Oh but greater still, the calm assurance
We can face uncertain days because He lives
And because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And then one day, I'll cross that 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
He lives, He lives
The song "Because He Lives" by Bill and Gloria Gaither is a powerful Christian hymn that speaks about the hope and strength that one can receive from their belief in Jesus and his resurrection. The first verse of the song talks about the joy and pride that one feels when holding a newborn baby, but the calm assurance that comes from knowing Jesus can help them face uncertain days is even greater. The chorus of the song emphasizes that because Jesus lives, fear no longer has power over us, and we can face tomorrow with confidence. The second verse speaks to the inevitability of death, but it also offers hope in the promise of eternal life and victory over pain. The final chorus repeats the message of the first, emphasizing the life-sustaining power that comes from knowing Jesus is alive.

verse 1)
Once like a bird in prison I dwelt
No freedom from my sorrow I felt
But Jesus came and listened to me
And glory to God He set me free.
(chorus)
He set me free yes He set me free
He broke the bonds of prison for me
I'm glory bound my Jesus to see
For glory to God He set me free
(verse 2)
Now I am climbing higher each day
Darkness of night has drifted away
My feet are planted on higher ground
Glory to God I'm homeward bound
(repeat chorus)
(verse 3)
Goodbye to sin and things that confound
Not of this world shall turn me around
Daily I'm praying I'm working too
And glory to God I'm going through
(repeat chorus)

So many old faces not with us anymore.
Miss them dearly but still enjoy their songs of spiritual inspiration, always with joy and blessings, but sometimes
with tears and beautifull memories of the past.
But we who are still alive, looking forward to our Holy King's coming with power and great glory, very, very soon.
HalleluYah.
