Because He Lives -Sally Deford

[00:23.89] Because He lives;

[00:28.40] Because He rose in mighty triumph from the grave

[00:34.90] I put my trust in Him, and seek to follow Him in faith

[00:41.64] Because He lives

[00:44.91] Because He lives,

[00:48.41] I shall find strength To stand against the tempter’s power

[00:54.65] He is my refuge and defense in every troubled hour

[01:01.15] Because He lives

[01:05.80] Chorus:

[01:06.29] Because He lives,

[01:08.04] I can bear whatever burden may be mine

[01:14.29] I am encircled in the arms of love divine because He lives

[01:23.55] Because He lives,

[01:27.06] He will banish every shadow of my pain

[01:33.53] Every sorrow will be swallowed up in Him

[01:40.30] For in His hand is healing for the weary soul

[01:50.29] This I know because He lives

[02:18.80] Because He lives

[02:22.79] My heart is filled with peace amid a world of fear

[02:28.79] And through the blindness of the night,

[02:32.05] In Him I rest secure

[02:35.55] Because He lives

[02:38.30] Because He lives

[02:41.54] There is no task so great that I cannot endure

[02:48.05] I bear no heartache that His tender mercy cannot cure

[02:54.55] Because He lives

[02:57.23] Because He lives,

[03:00.97] I can bear whatever burden may be mine

[03:06.96] I am encircled in the arms of love divine because He lives

[03:16.71] Because He lives,

[03:20.48] He will banish every shadow of my pain

[03:26.71] Every sorrow will be swallowed up in Him

[03:33.21] For in His hand is healing for the weary soul

[03:42.71] This I know because He lives

[03:52.96] Because He lives I will fear no darkness

[03:57.98] Because He lives I will walk in light

[04:03.72] Because He lives I will praise His kindness

[04:09.21] Because He lives hope shines ever bright

[04:14.97] Because He lives I will seek His righteousness

[04:21.21] Because He lives I’ll follow where He leads

[04:26.71] Because He lives I shall conquer even death

[04:36.47] And I shall live because He lives!

[04:44.71] Because He lives

[04:47.71] I will rejoice in Christ and glorify His name

[04:53.96] And with the willing voice of gratitude proclaim:

[05:00.22] My Savior lives!

[05:03.72] Because He lives

[05:06.72] He will banish every shadow of my pain

[05:12.47] Every sorrow will be swallowed up in Him

[05:19.22] For in His hand is healing for the weary soul

[05:30.71] This I know, because He lives
