Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I don't have to see Him

I don't have to touch His hands

To know that those nails pierced through

Mmh, to save the sinful man

I don't have to be there

Don't have to roll the stone away

To know that He rose from the dead

To overcome the grave


I know He lives

I know He lives

Jesus, the lamb, the great I am

I know He lives


Even in my worry

Even in my darkest hour

His love is enough to fill me up

And lift me higher

And when I fail to do right

I get down on my knees

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

Saving a wretch like me, ooh


I know He lives

I know He lives

Jesus, the lamb, the great I am

I know He lives


Father, I thank Thee

For Your One and only

From the death on Calvary

From the tomb that is empty

I know He lives


I know He lives

I know He lives

Jesus, the lamb, the great I am

I know He lives, ooh yeah

I know He lives

I know He lives

Jesus, the lamb, the great I am

I know He lives, yeah
