Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And feel the pride and joy He brings
But better still the calm assurance
Our boy can face uncertain days because He lives
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 the 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
Our life is worth a living, just because He lives
