Living God.

SONG OF RESPONSE: “He Lives” (In Unison)
I serve a Risen
Savior, He’s in the world today.
I know that He is
living, whatever men may say.
I see His hand of
mercy, I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time
I need him, He’s always near.
He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today. He walks with me and talks with me along
life’s narrow way.
He lives! He
lives! Salvation to impart! You ask me
how I know he lives? He lives within my
heart.
