I serve a risen Saviour, He's in the world today
I know that He is living, whatever men may say
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him, He's always near
He lives, He lives
Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me, and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives, He lives
Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
(O-o, o-o-oh
O-o, o-o-oh)
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ, the King
The Hope of all who seek Him
The Help of all who find
None other is so loving
So good and kind
He lives (o-o, o-o-oh)
He lives (o-o, o-o-oh)
Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me, and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (o-o, o-o-oh)
He lives (o-o, o-o-oh)
Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
(O-o, o-o-oh
O-o, o-o-oh)
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
(O-o, o-o-oh
O-o, o-o-oh)
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
He walks with me, and talks with me
Along life's narrow way (o-o, o-o-oh)
He lives, He lives
Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart (o-o, o-o-oh)
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
(O-o, o-o-oh
O-o, o-o-oh
O-o, o-o-oh
O-o, o-o-oh)
