Because He Lives Lyrics

Simon carried his cross for him
Simon did what he had to do
Someone nailed Pilate's sign for him
This is Jesus king of the Jews
Chorus
Because He lives we shall live
Because He lives we shall live
Because He lives we shall live
Because He lives we shall live
Because He lives we shall live

Verse
They crucified him at the place of the skull
Thieves were hung on either side
He refused their wine and gall
They threw lots as he was crucified
Chorus
All who passed him by mocked him there
With the scribes and the Pharisees
At last he cried My God, My God
Why have you forsaken me?
Chorus
When they came to the tomb that day
The ground shook the stone was rolled away
The angel said do not be afraid
Com and look this is where he lay

Christ has died
Christ has risen
Christ will come again!
