"BECAUSE HE LIVES" WAS WRITTEN BY
BILL AND GLORIA GAITHER IN 1971.
MOST CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS USE THE BROADMAN HYMNAL IN THEIR CHURCHES. THE SONG WAS PUBLISHED IN THE NEW BROADMAN HYMNAL EDITION.
DAVID LEE MURRAY IS SINGING
"BECAUSE HE LIVES."
GOD SENT HIS SON, THEY CALLED HIM JESUS,
HE CAME TO LOVE, HEAL, AND FORGIVE.
HE LIVED AND DIED, TO BUY MY PARDON,
AN EMPTY GRAVE IS THERE TO PROVE,
MY SAVIOR LIVES.
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.
AND THEN ONE DAY, I'LL CROSS THAT RIVER,
I'LL FIGHT LIFE'S FINAL WAR WITH PAIN.
AND THEN AS DEATH, GIVES WAY TO VICTORY,
I'LL SEE THE LIGHTS OF GLORY AND I'LL KNOW HE LIVES!
THE FIRST SERMON
"HE IS NOT HERE.
HE IS RISEN."
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.
AND LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING, JUST BECAUSE
HE LIVES!
A MESSAGE FROM DAVID LEE MURRAY
I received a most pleasant and uplifting blessing while surfing the net for music sites yesterday.
I found your wonderful work.
First, I want to convey my heartfelt thanks for posting my recording and rendition of
The Gaither's "Because He Lives".
I will never forget the Power and Spiritual presence of The Lord that I experienced in the recording booth.
Before entering the sound booth, Producer,
Pianist Gerry Peters; Ex-Producer,
Larry Dale Human and myself joined hands around
the piano and dedicated this song,
and each individual recording as well, to
Our Precious Savior for His Glory.
With my heart I thank you and your wonderful site. Above all, I thank you for serving Christ Jesus.
Your friend and Brother In Christ,
David Lee Murray
