I remember those days when the devil had me bound
I wallowed in the mire of grief and despair
No one to help me 'till I met the Saviour Jesus
What a light He shed.
He fought and gave me victory

The Greater One lives in me
I am more than a conqueror

Meaning & Inspiration
This upbeat declaration is built on call and response. It opens with the claim that God's plans do not fail and that everything He has said in Christ is "yea and amen," a phrase taken from 2 Corinthians 1:20. The crowd answers "yeah and amen," which makes the promise a shared statement.
The hook speaks of a future, a destiny, and the light of God in the singer, with a path that grows brighter each day. The second verse looks back to a time of being bound and sunk in grief and despair, before meeting Jesus, who shed light and fought to give victory.
The chorus uses a sunrise picture, moving from dusk into dawn, and ends on the lines "The Greater One lives in me" and "I am more than a conqueror." These echo 1 John 4:4 and Romans 8:37. The closing exchange repeats the word victory in the name of Jesus.
