Because He Lives

I recently recalled a song that we sang many years ago, 'Because He lives'. Below I use a few of the lines of that song with some thoughts of my own.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow

Especially in the depths of deep sorrow.

Because He lives all fear is gone

Even though I still grieve my son

Because I know He holds the future

I know this as its written in scripture

And life is still worth the living

Through pain and suffering He keeps giving

I know one day I'll cross the river

To see His face the Almighty giver

We all shall be made whole, complete

I long to hear my son shout 'hallelujah' and replete

This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

May I continue to know the God who restores and forgives

I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Until that day I hold onto the King who gives
