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 Saviour lives.

How sweet to hold a new- born baby, And feel the pride and joy he gives; But greater still, the calm assurance, This child can face uncertain days Because He lives.

And then one day I'll cross the 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.
