“Because He Lives”

         Some weeks are harder than others.  Often on Saturday I focus on a hymn that leads us into the coming week.  This coming week I will celebrate my first birthday without my husband and Saturday will be the funeral.  The family and friends will gather to support us.  Tough stuff.  Your challenge may be different but I always find this song uplifting.

God sent His son
They called Him Jesus
He came to love
Heal and forgive
He bled and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave
Is there to prove
My savior lives

CHORUS

And 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

And then one day
I’ll cross the river
And 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

CHORUS
