He was more into visual arts and often did paintings, music was hardly in his future plans but destiny had to prevail. In his awe of God’s magnificence and mystery of creation, he was inspired to sing “you are great” and that was it.

He asks himself questions about the existence of man, about how creation began, sun, birds, and sea how they came about. Everything is just perfect. Time and season come and go without failing. He also pondered about miracles. Seeing someone who had a problem and the problem was solved, just because he called upon Jesus. He said the greatest mystery that makes him wonder most was “God”. who created heaven and earth, can we tell who created Him? and he said that to him, the God who we can’t tell who created must be feared. He is just way too much for us to comprehend, even though most prophets of old wrote about Him, there is still much more about Him that no human can describe. And that was how the song “You Are Great” came about. Steve Crown also stated to the public that his main source of inspiration is from the “Holy Spirit”. As he could be anywhere such as a gym, a dream where he is leading a choir, and the lines to a song would drop into his spirit. While some come through personal and other people’s experiences and that is how God has been giving him his lyrics.
