Because He Lives!

This evening I started to have a pity party for myself, tomorrow starts "teacher appreciation week," I never really gave any thought but this year it's different. This year I'm at a school where it's a it's a big deal and I was just letting it all get to me until God put this song ("Because He Lives') in my head. It first started with me humming, "Because He lives, I can face tomorrow!" Then it hit me I can literally face tomorrow because God will give me the peace to get through it, and every other day! "Because He lives, all fear (uncertainty) is gone," I don't need to worry about what people think or don't think of me. "Because i know He holds the future and life is worth a living just because He lives!" I don't need to worry about anything, I just need to continue trusting in HIM!!!

Because He Lives
The Gaithers

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.

Chorus:
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.

How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because Christ lives.

(Chorus)

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.
