How sweet to hold,
      C majorC   Am7Am7
a newborn baby

And feel the pride,
  G/DG/D   Am7Am7  D MajorD
and joy He gives
  C/DC/D    G+G G/BG/B
But greater still
      C majorC
the calm assurance

Because He lives

And then one day,
        C majorC   Am7Am7
I'll cross the river
  C/DC/D   G+G  Bm7/F#  E minor 7Em7
I'll fight life's final
  G/DG/D   Am7Am7  D MajorD
war with pain
  C/DC/D    G+G G/BG/B
And then as death
      C majorC
gives way to victory
 Cm6Cm6   G/DG/D        Am/D
I'll see the lights of glory
  C/DC/D D MajorD  G+G  C/GC/G G+G
and I'll know He lives!
