Because He Lives

Breath of Life from His dying breath

Eternity for this repented soul

Charity given without strings

A heart swept clean in an instant

Uunified, rectified and reconciled

Salvation for a sinners reprieve

Eternal Life for you and for me

 

 

He bore my sins and iniquities

Even thought I am undeserving

 

 

Love sent into the world, God's True Light

I'm saved by His nail scared hands

Victory for all sinners who call out His Name

Everlasting life in the twinkling of an eye

Saviior of the world saw my face from the Cross

 

 

In the moment the spearpierced His side

 

 

Christians draw near to the Throne

Accept your jeweled crown

Not a single sin my Lord remembers

 

 

Fill your hearts with gladness

A heart filled with His Spirit is a heart free from sin

Count the blessings bestowed by God

Eternal Life, oh yes Eternal Life

 

 

Together we stand before the Throne to be judged

Only by the heart of God's only Son, living within

Mary was chosen to bring forth God's Son

On that first Christmas Eve night

Round the manger the shepherds came

Round the manger the Wise Men bestowed their gifts

On the greatest night of the centuries, Jesus was born

When Jesus died on the cross our sin debt was paid
