Lyrics

Chorus:
In my heart I know my Saviour lives;
I can hear Him calling tenderly my name.
Over sin and death He has prevailed;
In His glory, In His new life we partake.

1. I know He lives as He has promised
For me He's risen that from fear I may be free
Not even death can separate me
From Him whose love and might remain in me.

2. For I have seen and touched Him risen,
To all the world will I proclaim His majesty,
With joy I sing to tell His story
That in our hearts may live his memory.

3. And all the earth shall bow before Him;
His blessed name all will adore on bended knee
His truth shall reign, so shall His justice;
In Christ my Saviour let all glory be.
