Because He Lived


"but drops of grief can never repay the debt of love I owe;
here Lord I give myself away, it is all that I can do.
now I can say like Thomas, Lord, I believe, for I know,
I know, I know; I know that my redeemer liveth, to God
on highest His glorious giveth; and if my soul be stayed on Him,
because He lived, I too shall live! I too shall live!"

from the play (Because He Lived)
