White Flag
Christomlin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The battle rages on
As storms and tempests roar
We cannot win this fight
Inside our rebel hearts

We're laying down our weapons now

We raise our white flag

We surrender all to You, all for you
We raise our white flag: the war is over
Love has come, your love has won

Here on this holy ground
You made a way for peace
Laying your body down
You took our rightful place

This freedom song is marching on

We raise our white flag
We surrender all to you, all for you
We raise our white flag: the war is over
Love has come, your love has won

We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high
We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high
We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high
We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high

We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high
We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high
We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high
We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high

We raise our white flag
We surrender all to you, all for you
We raise our white flag: the war is over
Love has come, your love has won

We raise our white flag
We surrender all to you, all for you
We raise our white flag: the war is over
Love has come, your love has won

We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high
We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high
We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high
We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high

We lift your cross
We lift your cross
Passion, it's your time
It's your time
It's your time

Oh, for the glory of God
Oh, for the glory of God

Overall Meaning

The song "White Flag" by Christomlin is about surrendering to God and laying down our weapons and pride to acknowledge His love and victory. The battle is described as raging on, with storms and tempests, but it is a battle that cannot be won from our own strength, as it is inside our own hearts. Therefore, the song speaks to the idea of surrendering to God, who has already won the war through His love and sacrifice. The lyrics declare that the war is over and that we can offer our love and our lives in surrender to Him.

The song specifically talks about the cross and how it has been lifted high as a symbol of God's ultimate victory over sin and death. The chorus invites listeners to surrender to God, raising a white flag as a symbol of that surrender. The song concludes with a call for God's glory and acknowledges Christ's sacrifice as the means of victory.

Line by Line Meaning

The battle rages on
We are in the midst of a conflict

As storms and tempests roar
The conflict is intense and overwhelming

We cannot win this fight
We are unable to triumph over this struggle

Inside our rebel hearts
We harbor rebellion and are not at peace

We're laying down our weapons now
We are surrendering our ways and methods

We raise our white flag
We acknowledge defeat and submission

We surrender all to You, all for you
We submit everything to God

The war is over
The struggle has come to an end

Love has come, your love has won
God's love has emerged victorious

Here on this holy ground
We are in a place set apart for worship and reverence

You made a way for peace
God has provided a path to peaceful resolution

Laying your body down
Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross

You took our rightful place
Jesus bore the punishment we deserved

This freedom song is marching on
We are moving forward in the victory of God

We lift the cross, lift it high, lift it high
We exalt the symbol of Jesus' sacrifice

We lift your cross
We lift up the cross of Jesus

Passion, it's your time
This is a time for fervor and devotion to God

Oh, for the glory of God
May all things be done for God's honor and praise

БЕЛЫЙ ФЛАГ (WHITE FLAG)

Сраженье всё сильней,
Ревёт шторм, гром гремит.
И в этой битве мы
Не в силах победить.

Сейчас кладём всё пред Тобой.

ПРИПЕВ:
Возносим белый флаг,
И отдаем всё лишь Тебе,
Всё Тебе!
Возносим белый флаг,
Война окончена.
Любовь пришла,
Любовь Твоя!

Здесь на земле людей
Ты оправдал меня,
Отдав Себя на крест,
Страдал вместо меня.

Пусть песнь хвалы звучит сейчас!

МОСТ:
Превозносим Тебя,
Высоко,
Высоко!

I've been listening to Chris Tomlin for ever now and I just never had gotten to listen to this song until today Thursday 28th day of the year of the Lord 2022 and was given a mighty vision of a mysterious video that I believe would be a new song in the eyes of Jesus.

I have been listening to Chris Tomlins music for a number of years ago. And this is the very first time I hear this song. and I started following Chris Tomlin, I believe when I first heard the song, "Nobody LOVES me like you"..... Or it could have been shortly before I heard that song, but in that ballpark somewhere.

I agree, Chris' music, especially this song and many many others should all be super popular.

Paul Beahm

I spent so long living as a christian and I was unhappy. I didnt know why I could just never be good enough. Then I actually decided to dedicate my life to Jesus rather than the title of christian. I'm not a christian. I dont follow people. I want to follow Jesus Christ only.
