#213 – Because He Lives

Verse 1

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Refrain

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 the living just because He lives.

Verse 2

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.

Verse 3

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 lives.

Verse 1

The One who made the Heavens made my heart and soul
Before I drew a breath, I was loved and known
I am His creation, the Maker's masterpiece
And all that He designs will be done in me

Verse 2

My body is a temple of the living God
I'll worship in this house that His blood has bought
As I bear His image, O may I not profane
The holiness I hold in this earthly frame

Chorus

I belong to the Lord
O, I am not my own
I belong to the Lord
I am not my own
I will honor Him, for this I know:
I belong to the Lord
I am not my own

Verse 3

And if He has rеdeemed me, I am not my own
The mеasure of my worth is His love alone
He declares my standing, and He declares my state
So I will know myself by the name He gave
I belong to the Lord
O, I am not my own
I belong to the Lord
I am not my own
I will honor Him, for this I know:
I belong to the Lord
I am not my own

Verse 4

I am not my own and now my heart is free
O Maker come and make what You will of me
There is nothing broken that You cannot repair
So Lord I leave my life in Your loving care
