Because He Lives
V1
God sent His Son, they call Him Jesus,
He came to love, heal and forgive,
He lives and died to pay my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Saviour 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.
V2
And then one say, I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war in pain,
And then as death gives way to vict'ry,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He reigns. (Chorus)

Pilgrim Song
V1
Man is lonely by birth
Man is only a pilgrim on earth.
Born to be king, time is but a temporary thing
Only on loan while on earth.
V2
Like the wind in the tree
Man has been rather reckless and free.
Thrown far and wide, he longs to settle down beside
The stream flowing through eternity.
V3
Like the grass on the lawn
He will pass by the way and be gone.
A lesson to learn, we walk but once there's no return
Time, is always moving on.
V4
Man is longing for one
For a song and a place in the sun.
A home up above, where everyday is lived in love
For rest when the journey is done.
