greater

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

1 John 4:4

Everyone who reads my “daily bread” knows how much I love music. 

I have so many favorites, but Mercy Me is definitely a group I turn to when I need my spirits lifted.

Here is an example:

Bring your tired

And bring your shame

Bring your guilt

And bring your pain

Don't you know that's not your name

You will always be much more to me

Every day I wrestle with the voices

That keep telling me I'm not right

But that's alright

'Cause I hear a voice and He calls me redeemed

When others say I'll never be enough

And greater is the One living inside of me

Than he who is living in the world

In the world

In the world

And greater is the One living inside of me

Than he who is living in the world

Bring your doubts

And bring your fears

Bring your hurt

And bring your tears

There'll be no condemnation here

You are holy, righteous and redeemed

Every time I fall

There'll be those who will call me

A mistake

Well that's okay

'Cause I hear a voice and He calls me redeemed

When others say I'll never be enough

And greater is the One living inside of me

Than he who is living in the world

In the world

In the world

And greater is the One living inside of me

Than he who is living in the world

There'll be days I lose the battle

Grace says that it doesn't matter

'Cause the cross already won the war

He's Greater, He's Greater

I am learning to run freely

Understanding just how He sees me

And it makes me love Him more and more

He's Greater, He's Greater

There'll be days I lose the battle

Grace says that it doesn't matter

'Cause the cross already won the war

He's Greater, He's Greater

I am learning to run freely

Understanding just how He sees me

And it makes me love Him more and more

He's Greater, He's Greater

'Cause I hear a voice and He calls me redeemed

When others say I'll never be enough

And greater is the One living inside of me

Than he who is living in the world

In the world

In the world

And greater is the One living inside of me

Than he who is living in the world

There'll be days I lose the battle

Grace says that it doesn't matter

'Cause the cross already won the war

He's Greater, He's Greater

I am learning to run freely

Understanding just how He sees me

And it makes me love Him more and more

My God is greater (He's Greater, He's Greater)

Than he who is living in the world

If you read the lyrics (I know some people skip over the lyrics when I do song references), you’ll see that no matter what, if you are tired, if you are afraid, hurt, guilty, ashamed, no matter what, God is greater.

And He loves you.

Run freely to Him and feel that love.
