Because He Lives
Maher Matt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believe in the Son
I believe in the risen One
I believe I overcome
By the power of His blood

Amen, Amen
I’m alive, I’m alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends
Because He lives

I was dead in the grave
I was covered in sin and shame
I heard mercy call my name
He rolled the stone away

Amen, Amen
I’m alive, I’m alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends

Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
Every fear is gone
I know He holds my life my future in His hands

Amen, Amen
I’m alive, I’m alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends

Amen, Amen
I’m alive, I’m alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends

Jesus and the father are one. But Jesus earned the right to be heir and King of Kings. It wasn't just "handed" too him.
God Father Time gave him the permission to anoint kings and topple kingdoms. It's like.. uhm.. The Creator Of Time and Space gave him the ability of.. reincarnating with every memory of everything. You know the Doc.Tor Chasing the White Rabbit, deep in the Rabbit Hole? How can it be both at the same time with ying yang.
Because Karma. That's why. Christ said "if any man should follow me, let him deny himself and pick up his cross and follow me."
Christ is like Talos. lol. Destroying The Ancient Serpent. Get it?
The Nature Of The Creator Of All Things Within Existence has laws beyond our imagination.
There's always more to learn. Also, thou shalt not Idolize.
Christ paid heavily because of people being silly and arguing over petty shit like race.
It's a Turtle race.. Indian proverb, get it?

There are many more startling revelations to come brothers.
For example. Every Shephard has a Canine to help Guide his Flock of Sheep.
Ying.Yang.. brothers and sisters.. Ying.Yang.
