VFAVE CONTRIBUTOR COMMENTARY

The song, "Because He lives" from the Matt Maher album titled: "Saints and Sinners," is a celebration of the core of Christian belief. Because He (Jesus) lives...all people have hope to reach beyond the brokenness that makes daily living difficult. This is an anthem of freedom in Christ.
