The story behind the song

"Greater" emerged from a deeply personal place for MercyMe frontman Bart Millard, inspired by his middle son, Charlie. Millard used the song's message to encourage his son, who has a stutter, reminding him that despite challenges or unkindness from others, he possesses something special and strong within him. It's a song about recognizing an inner power and purpose, even when faced with adversity, and remembering that one is "holy, righteous and redeemed." This track from the album Welcome to the New carries the feeling of an uplifting anthem for anyone needing to be reminded of their inherent worth.
