Greater Is He (for Jon Pritikin)

God had laid it on my heart to sing a song that's not been sung
But it was hard for me because I had a broken tongue
People would point and laugh and say I was a weakling
Guess I'd have to point that out 'cause I'm the one here speaking

And if God is for me who can be against me
And since God is for me
Greater is he who is in me than in this world

Back when I was a younger boy I struggled just to stay afloat
Found myself tossed and turning I was in a leaking boat
I admit that my life was somewhat living out of order
Jesus reached his hand to me and said "walk on water"

And if God is for me who can be against me
And since God is for me
Greater is he who is in me than in this world

I find myself not always wrestling with flesh and bone
But through it all I see that I am not ever alone
All things are working for the good that is how it's gonna be
I can do all things through Christ because he strengthens me

And if God is for me who can be against me
And since God is for me
Greater is he who is in me than in this world

I know you're sitting there and you thinking that I don't know
what you're going through and I'm just here for the show
I get it more than you might think yeah I really do
'Cause not too long ago I was sitting there like you

And if God is for me who can be against me
And since God is for me
Greater is he who is in me than in this world

Every day we play a game we're always trying to fit in
I can tell you now that's not how you're gonna win
You may be different but you're special you are who you are
That's the way God made you and that goes pretty far

And if God is for me who can be against me
And since God is for me
Greater is he who is in me than in this world

So if you're sitting there and you're starting to feel victimized
You think you're being bullied for the one you are inside
Take it from a guy who speaks while breaking bats on stages
Lift your head up high, stand strong, be courageous

And if God is for me who can be against me
And since God is for me
Greater is he who is in me than in this world
