Multi-awarded Country music singer and American Idol Winner Carrie Underwood collaborated with the Gaither Vocal Band to record this amazing version of one of the most popular gospel songs ever written! “Because He Lives” is an anthem to many Christians and has brought to life again by Carrie Underwood. It was recorded live and what a brilliant voice of Carrie Underwood! Be blessed.

Carrie Underwood was born on March 10, 1983, Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.. She is an American country music performer who rose to stardom when she won the American Idol in 2005. She received the top prize of a recording contract with 19 Recordings/Arista Records, and the resulting album, Some Hearts (2005), was a massive commercial hit, eventually selling more than seven million copies and cementing Underwood’s status as one of American Idol’s most successful alumni. In 2007 she won Grammy Awards for best new artist and best female country vocal performance. Carrie returned to American Idol in 2007, performing a cover of the Pretenders’ “I’ll Stand by You.” Made available as a single on Apple’s iTunes service, the song was downloaded more than 300,000 times and became the first digital-only release to crack the top 10 of the Billboard singles chart. At the 2007 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, Underwood claimed single-of-the-year honours for the feisty revenge song “Before He Cheats.” Her second album, Carnival Ride (2007), sold more than half a million copies in its first week of release, and in early 2008 she was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

Because He Lives Lyrics

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!

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!

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

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!

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!

Softly and Tenderly Lyrics

Softly and tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portals
He’s waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me

Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling “Oh sinner, come home”Why should we tarry
When Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies
Mercies for you and for me

Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling “Oh sinner, come home”Oh for the wonderful love he has promised
Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me

Come home
Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling “Oh sinner, come home”Come home
Ye who are weary
Come home
Earnestly, tenderly
Jesus is calling
Calling “Oh sinner, come home”

Angels Among Us Lyrics

Alabama

I was walkin’ home from school
On a cold winter day,
Took a short cut through the woods
And I lost my way.
It was gettin’ late, and I was scared and alone.
Then a kind old man took my hand, and led me home.
Mama couldn’t see him,
But he was standing there,
And I knew in my heart
He was the answer to my prayer.

Oh, I believe there are Angels Among Us,
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love.

When life held troubled times
And had me down on my knees
There’s always been someone
To come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger
To lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend
Just to say I understand
Now ain’t it kind of funny
At the dark end of the road
Someone light the way with just a single ray of hope.

Oh, I believe there are Angels Among Us,
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love.

They wear so many faces,
Show up in the strangest places
And grace us with their mercies in our time of need.

Oh, I believe there are Angels Among Us,
Sent down to us from somewhere up above.
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love. To guide us with a light of love

Lord, I’m Ready To Go Home

James and Jeff Easter with Morgan Easter

Through the valleys of this life I have wondered

And I′ve worked for Jesus all along the way

But now life’s evening sun, for me is setting

I have reached the ending of my way

Lord, I′ve been faithful in the service you have given

And the harvest of the fields, Lord, I have done

But now, my steps are growing weary

Lord, I’m waiting, I’m ready to go home

Looking back upon the life I′ve lived for Jesus

I can see how he has blessed me all the way

And each tear I shed just helped to keep me humble

And each burden only taught me how to pray

Lord, I′ve been faithful in the service you have given

And the harvest of the fields, Lord, I have done

But now, my steps are growing weary

Lord, I’m waiting, I′m ready to go home

Though I hate to leave so many friends behind me

And the parting of our way will break my heart

But I’ll wait for them inside the gates of heaven

Where the children of God will never part

Lord I′ve been faithful in the service you have given

And the harvest of the fields, Lord, I have done

But now, my steps are growing weary

Lord, I’m waiting, I′m ready to go home

Lord I’m waiting, I’m ready to go home

Worthy the Lamb Lyrics

Song by Gaither Vocal Band

Hear the cries of the shackled
From the onset of time
For the chains of defeat there’s no key
See the tears of the broken
The cries of the slaves
Is there no one worthy to set us free?

Then the crying is stilled as
The chorus rings out
The shackled released from their chains
And thousands of voices are swelling the song
Worthy the Lamb that was slain
Worthy, worthy
Worthy the Lamb that was slain

Then all the archangels
The saints of all time
Holding their crowns in their hands
Fall down before Him join the song
The worthy, worthy the Lamb!

Praise Him, praise Him
Praise the Lamb that was slain
