Greater Is He

Over the tides of circumstance
Or anger’s raging sea
Over the fretful winds of chance
And human misery
I see the banner of His love
In gentle tones unfurled
Greater is He that is in me
Than he that is in the world

Over this turmoil’s darkened plain
Where man is doomed to live
Over the hurt and bitter pain
When I cannot forgive
He whispers to me soft and low
His mercy there unfurled
Greater is He that is in me
Than he that is in the world

Over this wretched form of dust
Where death is my release
Over this world of shame and lust
Where there would be no peace
I hear again His tender Voice
In perfect love unfurled
Greater is He that is in me
Than he that is in the world
