Karaoké Because He Lives The Bill Gaither Trio

To me there was nothing quite so sweet as holding in my arms a newborn baby

To know this is our child ours to love and care for ours to feed and clothe ours to teach and guide

But with the pride and joy also came the realization that this child was going to face

A world that was not very beautiful

And a baby's not a new toy but an immortal soul

I don't think

I have the courage to look our little babies in the face

In the light of today's headlines

If it were not for the fact of an empty tomb

A risen Lord and a philosophy of life that makes sense when the world doesn't

A philosophy that brings life into focus

Gives beauty for ashes puts hope in the heart

When the days are uncertain the future is sure

Because of a man called Jesus

I can look our babies

In the face and say

Because he lives we can face tomorrow

Because I know all fear is gone

Because I know he holds the future

And life is worth the living just because he lives

How sweet to hold

A newborn baby

And feel the pride and joy he gives

But greater 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 the living just because he lives

And then one day

And then one day

I'll cross that river

I'll cross that river

I'll fight life's final war with pain

I'll fight life's final war of pain

And then as death gives way to victory

And then as death gives way to victory

I'll see the lights of glory

I'll see the lights of glory and

And I'll know he reigns

I'll know he reigns

And because he lives

I can face tomorrow

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

Now life is worth the living just because he lives
