Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God sent his son
They called him Jesus
He came to love
To heal and forgive
And he lived and died
Just to buy my pardon
And an empty grave
my savior lives
Because he lives
I can face tommorrow
Because he lives
all fear is gone
Because I know
I know
He hold the future
And life is worth the living just
Becuase he lives
...
How sweet to hold
A new born baby
And feel that pride
And joy that he brings
Oh but greater still
Is that calm assurance
That this child
He can face uncertain days
Because Christ live
And then one day
I'm gonna cross that river
And I'll fight
I'll fight lifes final war
It's final war
With pain
And then as death
Death' gonna give way to victory
(Oh yes it is)
I'll see the light of glory
and I'll know
My savior lives
Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Becuase I know
I know
He hold my future
And life is worth the living just
Becuase he lives
Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Becuase I know

He hold the future
And life is worth
the living just
Becuse he lives
Becuase I know
I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just
Because he live
Because he lives
...
How sweet to hold
A new born baby
And feel all the pride
And the joy that he gives
Oh but greater still
Is that calm assurance
This child he can face
Uncertain days
Becuase Christ lives
And then one day
I'm gonna cross that river
I'll fight lifes final
Lifes final war with pain
And then as death

I'll see the lights oh glory

Grace Larson's "Because He Lives" is a Christian hymn that acknowledges the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the source of hope and comfort for believers. The lyrics are poetic and insightful, conveying a message of faith and trust in God's plan for the future. The song recognizes the challenges of life, but through Christ's work, it provides hope and reassurance that believers can face tomorrow and life is worth living.
The opening verse reflects on the life, teachings, and sacrifice of Jesus, who came to love, heal, and forgive humanity. The verse also acknowledges Christ's death as an act of redemption and his resurrection as a testimony to his divine power. The chorus focuses on the instrumental role Christ plays in giving believers the courage to face tomorrow and overcome their fears.
The second verse shifts the focus to a newborn baby and the joy and pride it brings. However, the verse highlights the greater assurance that Christ provides in uncertain times, giving this child the strength to face difficult days. The final verse recognizes the inevitability of death and the pain it brings. Still, the verse concludes with the promise of victory and the hope of seeing the "light of glory" because of Christ's work.
Overall, because he lives, the believer can face tomorrow with the confidence of God's love, mercy, and grace.
