Story behind the song
Hello and welcome to SoundCLICK Music Ministries of Bordergate Baptist. We are so glad to have you here. We have been waiting on you, see we knew that God appointed a time for you to visit us and I guess it's today. I just want to take the time to tell you that God loves you very much. Just look at what He did for you and me.
John 3:16. For God so loved the world (YOU), that he gave his only begotten Son (JESUS), that whosoever (IF YOU) believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world (YOU); but that the world (YOU) through him might be saved.
John 3:18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
We uploaded this song here on the web to show the positive side of life, which is, God. He is the most positive thing that we know and we hope to reflect that to all who hears this song. God changes things.
We ask for nothing and accept what God blesses us with. We hope that we can be a blessing to you and your family.
Bordergate Baptist Family, Macau China
Lyrics
Because he lives; because he rose in mighty triumph from the grave
I put my trust in him, and seek to follow him in faith
Because he lives
Because he lives, I shall find strength to stand against the tempter's power
He is my refuge and defense in every troubled hour
Because he lives
Chorus:
Because he lives I can bear whatever burden may be mine
I am encircled in the arms of love divine because he lives
Because he lives he will banish every shadow of my pain
Every sorrow will be swallowed up in him
For in his hand is healing for the weary soul
This I know because he lives
Because he lives my heart is filled with peace amid a world of fear
And through the blindness of the night, in him I rest secure
Because he lives
Because he lives there is no task so great that I cannot endure
I bear no heartache that his tender mercy cannot cure
Because he lives
(Repeat chorus)
Because he lives I will fear no darkness
Because he lives I will walk in light
Because he lives I will praise his kindness
Because he lives hope shines ever bright
Because he lives I will seek his righteousness
Because he lives I'll follow where he leads
Because he lives I shall conquer even death
And I shall live because he lives!
Because he lives I will rejoice in Christ and glorify his name
And with the willing voice of gratitude proclaim: My Savior lives!
Because he lives he will banish every shadow of my pain
Every sorrow will be swallowed up in him
For in his hand is healing for the weary soul
This I know because he lives
