"You have something inside of you telling you that you're something different."
That quote honestly brought me to tears.

Awww!  Now I love that song even more!  You go Charlie!  Cheering you on from here!  Bart, imagine the gift you are giving your kids... and us too.  Thank you all so much!

Don't we ALL have a story?! I think this song speaks to all of us.

The holy spirit used this song to change my life! I no longer struggle with anxiety and depression or thoughts of worthlessness and lack of hope. I heard this song on the radio one day (I had heard it many times before) but God opened up my heart to soak in the truth that is in this song - GREATER is the one living inside of me than he who is living in the world!! I immediately began to cry with joy - the "knowing" that I had been waiting for for so long was revealed to me and now whenever I hear this song, it's just a wonderful reminder of where I was and where I am...WHO I am. When you get it, it's truly life changing.

This is my FAVORITE praise song!! This is this song I turn to when I feel that the world is dumping on me, that I can't do anything right, that I feel worthless. I listen to this song a few times until I start feeling better. Plus I love playing it in church. I am the hand percussionist and since I have not attempted playing the tambourine and shaker at the same time I just switch back and forth.

I have to turn the volume up anytime we hear this song.  My kids and I love to sing along!  Your song puts us all in a much better mood!

Bart and Mercy Me, there have been days when your music is the one thing that keeps me upright and putting one foot in front of the other. #dailyblessings

Wow, heard a part of this testimony on K-Love today. Came home, looked it up immediately! Thank you for sharing! Made me ball too;) Love this song so much!!!

I was blessed enough to be at the KLVOE show Mercy Me did a few weeks ago in Elgin IL.  Wow the music was amazing but even more so was Bart's message he shared before they did Greater.  It is about 15 minutes long but will the best 15 minutes of your day.  Go to the KLOVE website, view the show and go to the 16 minute mark.  It will change your day and maybe even your life.  I know it did for me.  Been listening to this song everyday!  Pass it on!  Thank you Mercy Me and Bart for doing Gods work.  We are so grateful.

Thank you!  "The enemy is taking shots at you"!  
I relate to that!  So much joy this song brings into my whole being that I sing it and dance it at the same time!
God Bless you and all of your loved ones and all of us who listen to this wonderful reminder of who is the Greatest!  GOD!

My young son battles anxiety, this song is great for him! No matter what he fears or feels he knows God is Greater. This song reminds my son that he is loved despite what he sees as faults!

Tell Charlie I feel the same way about Greater and cherish the message in all of his Dad's music. Thank you, Glory to God

Husband just found out he got cancer so This is my song now. For greater is he who lives inside of me.

[charlessmiley]

Fantastic lyrics, what blessing Mercy Me is to the body of Christ.  I am Holy, Righteous and Redeemed!  Thanks for the reminder. 

[annacuevas]

This relates to me and the things I've done. I felt hopeless alot. I've taken care of four terminally ill people all who were my mom, sister, grandpa and husbands uncle and I don't see how I pulled out of it. Thanks God!

[jodiedehn]

You made me cry too! Love the whole album!

[josephshumway]

This song is a classic! The Savior is greater than he that lives in the world! Amen 🙌

[Targus]
