Lyrics to the hymn, Because He Lives


  Introduction 

Hello, my friends whom I have never seen and probably never will, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, recipes, and then just some facts about anything that strikes my fancy at that particular moment..

Today we are looking at the hymn by Gloria and Bill Gaither, Because He Lives; they wrote it in 1971, and it is now published in 58 hymnals.

That isn't as many as some songs, but it is still a lot. 

Because He Lives is about how we can go through life with the knowledge that Jesus is living, and will help us when we call upon His name.

If you don't know how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Carrie Underwood; she did a nice job, if you excuse the fact that she doesn't sing the whole hymn.

Now, on with the show!


The Lyrics 

Verse 1 

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.

Verse 2 

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

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.

Verse 3 

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 victr'y, 

I'll see the lights of glory, and I'll know He 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.


  Afterwards

Isn't it beautiful? I used to not like it very much, but now it's on my list of favorite hymns.

It doesn't rhyme all the time, but I still like it. Obviously.

If there is a particular subject that you want me to cover, let me know down in the comments; I would love to hear your opinions.

I post on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Random Chatty Days.

Goodbye, and God bless.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns. Today's hymn is one of my new favorites, Sweet Hour Of Prayer. It was written in 1845 by Mr. William W. Walford, and it is one of the best hymns in the world. In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
