Anthem of White Flags

Anthem of White Flags


Was I so blind that I could not see
How could I blame you, it was all me
You said stop, I said go
If only I knew then
That there was so much more than this

This is my anthem
Anthem of white flags
I'm on my knees, on my knees
But I still don't feel low enough
This is where I stop when You say stop
Where I surrender and say no more
Like I would no more than You
The One who did all things well
Yet I'm the one who fell
This is my worship
How could I be so stupid
And wonder around this world
As filthy rags
When all I need was redemption so sweet
Like honey on my lips
Like water, but thirsty no more
If it took me this long to sing of Your song
Cuz I was basically running in place
I promise to find joy in the pain
Since I brought disobedience, even though I claimed Your name
This are my white flags
I wave them high
And yes world, these are tears
Coming from my eyes
And if you laugh at me, I thank you
It gives me just another reason to go on
Just another reason to love you like the Savior did
And still does
And while waving my white flags
I want to tell you why I'm surrendering to Love
Yes, Love
But nothing that you've ever seen or felt on earth before
