Every Sunday in Lent is considered a “little Easter,” a time to celebrate the Lord’s resurrection and spend time praising God. So, in keeping with this, our Sunday devotionals will be traditional Easter hymns. Take a moment to sing these with your family or by yourself. If you like, listen to the song on your computer or phone. But be sure to spend time rejoicing and praising God for our new life in Jesus Christ.

Because He Lives

By Bill and Gloria Gaither

1. 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.

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.

2. 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 day because he lives.

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.

3. 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 vict'ry
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know he reigns.
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.
