God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus

by Gloria Gaither · by William J. Gaither

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 526.

Verse 1

God sent His Son, 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.

Refrain

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.
