Because He Lives [Swedish translation]

God sent His Son

They called Him Jesus

He came to love, heal and forgive

He lived and died

Just 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

And life is worth the living

Just because He lives.

How sweet to hold

A new born baby

And feel the pride

and joy he brings.

But greater still

The calm assurance

This child 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

I’ll cross the river

I’ll fight life’s final

War with pain.

And then the death

Gives way to victory,

I’ll see the lights of glory

And I’ll know 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 life is worth the living

Just because He lives.
