Greater Is He That Is Within Me

“Greater is He That is Within Me”

Greater is He that is within me,
Than he that is within the world,
Greater than all the skies, land and sea,
Great is my Lord, great is His Word!

Greater is He that is within me,
Praise to my Savior, how great is His name,
Who was, is and always shall be,
Beyond all wealth, fortune or fame.

Greater is He that is within me,
Because Christ’s death and resurrection,
A soul undeserved, am forgiven by Thee,
To Christ my praise, my affection.

Greater is He that is within me,
Who breathes me life, I live for Him,
My soul is blessed for Christ lives in me,
Who has delivered me from death and sin.

Greater is He that is within me,
Once lost, now found, through grace alone,
Because Christ has risen, I now am free,
Oh praise His name to Glory’s throne.

Greater is He that is within me,
The giver of life and all that abounds,
The Living Water to all who are thirsty,
Glory to God, all creation resounds.

Greater is He that is within me,
Who forgives me for all my trespasses,
Who delivers my soul and sets me free,
Beyond my understanding, His peace surpasses.

Greater is He that is within me,
Than left to myself, me, or I,
For me, a sinner, He gives eternity,
When my heart surrenders to God on high.

Greater is He that is within me,
He resides in my heart each day and night,
To believe, I don’t have to see,
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 

Greater is He than is within me,
Than he that is within the world,
To all who believe in what they can’t see,
The gift of salvation unfurled.
