Matt Maher's song 'Because He Lives' is a declaration of faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The lyrics affirm belief in the Son and the power of His blood to overcome sin and death. The song contrasts a past state of spiritual death and shame with the new life found through Christ's resurrection. It expresses confidence that because Jesus lives, believers can face the future without fear, trusting that their lives are held securely in His hands. The repeated 'Amen' and the joining of the singer's song with an eternal chorus emphasize a communal and everlasting praise.
I believe in the Son
I believe in the risen One
I believe I overcome
By the power of His blood
Amen, amen
I'm alive, I'm alive
Because He lives
Amen, amen
Let my song join the One that never ends
Because He lives
I was dead in the grave
I was covered in sin and shame
I heard mercy call my name
He rolled the stone away
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, every fear is gone
I know He holds my life, my future, in His hands
