Raise Us Up With Jesus and Take Us, Together With You, Into His Presence

“We know that God, who raised the Lord Jesus to life, will also raise us up with Jesus and take us, together with you, into His presence.” ~2 Corinthians 4:14

Every time I read this verse, it takes me back to my childhood, listening to my Mom sing, “Because He Lives” as she cleaned our house. She had a beautiful melodic voice, yet what made it so memorable was her inner joy that radiated in these words. That Jesus-joy is contagious and I still feel that, decades later. Listen to this, if you can, and share that joy.

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!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he brings;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days 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!

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 victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know 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!
