Verse 1
Dios envió a su hijo Cristo
A perdonar y dar amor
Vivió y murió por mis pecados
Tres días después resucitó mi salvador

Porque el vive enfrento el mañana
Porque el vive ya no hay temor
Porque yo se que el tiene el futuro
Mi vida vale porque vive mi Señor

Precioso don que Dios nos da
Qué inmensa paz saber por cierto
Que su futuro por Jesús seguro está

Se acabará mi vida un día
Enfrentaré muerte y dolor
No temeré porque en la gloria
allí en su reino yo veré a mi redentor!
Chorus (x2)
Porque el vive enfrento el mañana
Porque el vive ya no hay temor
Porque yo se que el tiene el futuro
Mi vida vale porque vive mi Señor

Meaning & Inspiration
“Porque Él Vive” is the Spanish version of “Because He Lives.” The first verse tells the gospel story in brief: God sent His Son, Christ, to forgive and to give love, and he lived and died for the singer’s sins and rose again after three days. The chorus turns that fact into daily confidence: because He lives, tomorrow can be faced, fear is gone, and life is worth living “porque vive mi Señor.”
The second verse speaks of the gift of a child as a precious gift from God and of the peace of knowing that the future is secure through Jesus. The third verse looks to the end of life, expecting to face death and pain without fear because the singer will see the Redeemer in His kingdom.
The theme is close to John 14:19, “Because I live, ye shall live also,” and to 1 Corinthians 15:20 on Christ rising as the firstfruits. The song moves from the resurrection to the present and then to hope beyond death.
