He Lives

     G                   C    G
I serve a risen saviour; He’s in the world today.
       B    Em           A7           D7
I know that He is living whatever man may say.
   G
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer
     A	            A7        D
And just the time I need Him, He’s always there.


Chorus:

  G	         G7	    C      G
He lives, He lives. Christ Jesus lives today!
  D           G
He walks with me and He talks with me,
A            D7
Along life’s narrow way.
   G         G7     C            B
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart.
     E7	        A	  G°
You ask me how I know He lives;
   G       D       G
He lives within my heart


In all the world around me I see His loving care
And though my heart grows weary I never will despair.
I know that He is leading through all the stormy blast;
The day of His appearing will come at last.


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.
