Greater
Song Meaning
John P. Kee builds the entire song around a single verse, quoted with almost no variation: "greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world." 1 John 4:4's claim becomes the song's whole structure, repeated enough times that the repetition itself starts to function as the argument.
"I am a conqueror, greater" reaches for Romans 8:37's declaration that believers are "more than conquerors through him who loved us." "Call on His name, He will deliver you" keeps the theology practical rather than only declarative — the greater presence named in the chorus is matched with a specific instruction for what to actually do when trouble comes.

I am a conqueror, greater
Greater is He that is in me
