| How sweet to hold a brand new baby | |
| 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 life is worth a living, just because He lives | |
| 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 |
