A Gospel Journey Lyrics

Please see each song's parent album for lyrics

 

Because He Lives
(this song has never appeared on any Oak Ridge Boys recording. This is a live version performed in 1974.)


God sent His son, and they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.


Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
My life is worth the living just because He lives.


Then one day I'm gonna cross that river,
I'm gonna fight life's final, life's final war with pain.
And then as death someday gives way to victory,
I'm gonna see those lights of glory and know my Savior reigns.
