HE WHO IS INSIDE

Listen to the song; #5 on WORSHIP ROCKS

1992 -  I think I was puttering around in my garage one afternoon and Mike Stucky stopped by. “Hey Mr. Ma-shod” as he called me, “I’ve got this idea for a song and was wondering if you could do something with it.” Then he sang these lyrics, “He who is inside is greater than he who is in the world.” “The thing just keeps going over and over in my head but that’s all I’ve got,” he added. I recognized the verse from the bible, but had to look it up later to get more of the context. Needless to say, I jumped at the chance to collaborate with a friend on a new song as I have more recently with Michell Cook, Cassie Perkins, and Cliff Rideout. After a bit of study on the biblical context, the song started to cometogether.

1st John 4:4 reads “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” The verse immediately preceding sheds more light on who and what we overcome as follows: “and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from god; this is the spirit of the antichrist of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.” And verse 5 says, “They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.” I get a number of things out of that. For one, it seems that we aren’t waiting for the antichrist; he’s already in the world! Another thing that can be inferred is that the worldly will not hear spiritual truth unless we can break through this spirit of antichrist. On top of that, it’s a very empowering concept; that we need not fear the spirit of this world because we have within us someone infinitely more powerful! Before I post the lyrics to the song, here are a few major events of the year 1992. Do you remember…
• The Rodney King Riots
• Ross Perot runs for president
• Bill Clinton wins presidency
• Mobster John Gotti sentenced to life in prison
• My 2nd son Kaleb was born and named by God

HE WHO IS INSIDE
Words & music by Reggie Michaud & Mike Stucky © 1992

In the face of the enemy we can stand,
Cuz we are the children of God
We’re placing the whole of our lives in His hands
We are the Chosen of God

And He who is inside is greater than he who is in the world
He who is inside protecting me (Holy Spirit is...)
He who is inside is greater than he who is in the world
He who is inside perfecting me

He fills us with courage and power from on high
Cuz we are the body of Christ
He softens our hearts and refreshes our minds
We are His voice and His life

And He who is inside is greater than he who is in the world
He who is inside directing me (Holy Spirit is...)
He who is inside is greater than he who is in the world
He who is inside perfecting me

The ears of the worldly have been shut down
They're missing the Spirit of God
To save them with wisdom before they drown
For this is the calling of God

And He who is inside is greater than he who is in the world
He who is inside directing me (Holy Spirit is...)
He who is inside is greater than he who is in the worldHe who is inside perfecting me
