Greater Is He Who Is In Me

Greater is He who is in me the Lord Jesus Christ 
Greater is the gifts He's given to me His love and the breath of life

Too many times people discount the Ultimate Creator
they treat God like an old over-used refrigerator
Only to utilize His power when they have a need or desire
Than to be put away in the trunk like a convenient spare tire
The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth the anointed words of God
Are no longer heeded by most nor taken to heart
It's no wonder that the world is now full of hate, chaos and confusion
And racism is alive and well and true justice is an illusion

Greater is He who is in me than what is in this world
Greater is the Word He sent to me than anything from man I've heard
The media has a stronghold over our children's minds
With youtube, facebook, Twitter all social outlets of any kind
They walk around all day with a cell phone in their face
Too preoccupied to even recognize God or receive His mercy and grace

Greater is He who is in me than what is in this life
Greater is He who for me sent His Son Jesus the Christ
Children are having children and morality is at an all time low
While social responsibility and respect for others is a no show
Domestic violence is prevalent and it matters not what race or age
Women and young girls abused and killed and society is somewhat outraged
Black lives DO matter but white society can't seem to comprehend
The injustice of accountability when it comes to killing Black men
They call it justifiable homicide but African-Americans only see
That bullets and a guns have replaced ropes and a lynching tree

Greater is He who is in me that what my eyes can see
Greater is my Lord Jesus the Christ who gave His life for me
