YouTube video: Because He Died, Because He Lives

Text:
Because He died, He knows the pain I feel,
Because He died, my anguish He can heal.
Because He died and bled from every pore,
Because He died, I will grieve no more,

Because He died, was pressed like oil down,
Because He died, He wears a victor’s crown.
Because He died, He overcame the grave,
Because He died, I know my soul is saved,

Because He lives, He quiets all my fears,
Because He lives, there’ll be no silent tears,
Because He lives, all grief will soon depart,
Because He lives, He’ll mend my broken heart.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, I’ll endure all mortal sorrow,
Because He lives, I’ll strive with faith today,
Because He lives, I’ll walk His chosen way.
