Because He Lives
Музыка
Was hoping to finish an A cappella hymn I'd prepared an arrangement of earlier this week, but I didn't have enough time. This song came to mind, was quick to do, and just a wonderful reminder of Resurrection Sunday. One of my favorite by Bill and Gloria Gaither (thank you to someone who reminded me of the original authors - credit where credit is due and I need to remember to do that). Praise the Lord that He lives!

Lyrics:
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]
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!
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He lives! [chorus]
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 lives! [chorus]
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

Awesome hymn music! God be with you and your family.
This gives me chills when the harmony is in three parts. Thanks.
Easy to sing with!!!! Thank you!
Great Gaither song, hard to believe this is now a 1/2 century old. You do such a letter-perfect job, my friend, it is a joy to listen to you play, and sing. I wish I had a tenth of your talent, but since I don't, I am glad God blessed you, to bless us. Thank you brother, you Rock! If you ever pass thru the desert ya'll will have to stay with us and have a few sessions.

That is a nice invitation! It would be fun to travel through a number of states visiting "fans". I'd settle for just going across the border at this point to go shopping. :-)
God bless you greatly, this hymn has made me reflect a lot.
Easter Blessings to one and all in your team. Keep it going....
That was beautiful! Thank you!
God bless you 🌍
