YouTube video: Because He Lives, hymn

Text:
Because He lives,
God’s greatest plan was verified.
Our Savior gives
His love for our supply.
Suffering pain,
Erasing sin and lasting loss,
Our Savior gained,
For us, his valiant cross.

Because He lives
And groaned beneath that awful load,
To us He gives
Atonement’s gifts foretold.
Reaching our fears,
Enduring unfair sentencing,
Our Savior’s tears
Brought blood and praise to sing.

Because He lives
Despair and disappointments end.
Our Savior gives
Capacity to mend.
Unceasingly,
His charity exceeds all time.
He died to be
Our Savior, so sublime.

Because He lives
And rose the third day from the tomb,
He gladly gives
Release from every gloom.
Death has no sting;
Now we are freed from every woe.
Our Savior brings
True life, where blessings flow.
