Make us your building, sheltering others,

walls made of living stone.

Let us be servants to one another,

making your kingdom come.

Because He lives, all fear is gone

Because I know, He holds the future

And life is worth the living

Just because He lives

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 lives
