Surrender
Flame Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus – V.Rose]
I’m never gonna run away, away from you

I open up my heart to you, I’m yours

I’m pulling out my flag and I, I surrender

Anchor on my ship, you can hold me down

I’m never gonna run, no
I’m never gonna run


[Verse 1 – Flame]
I’m never gonna run, I am truly convinced

That your ways are better, I’m not on the fence

Who distributes joy? Who sets the soul free?

Who can forgive sin? Jesus who died for me

Yes it’s true that I’ve been captured by your love

I’ve been captured by your grace, I’ve been covered by your blood

I was lost but now I’m found, yes it’s true you hold me down

Jesus here’s my white flag I surrender right now

Jesus here’s my white flag I surrender right now

I surrender right now, I surrender right now
Jesus here’s my white flag I surrender right now

Right now, right now, I surrender … now

[Chorus – V.Rose]

[Verse 2 – Flame]
How can I run away or go take a hiatus

When the decedent of David’s proven he is the greatest?

You see he mediates, he is the mediator

Now I am so free, what a sweet Savior


[Verse 2 – V.Rose]
I found a real love and he is my ransom

Not gonna escape, I’m gonna stay

I’m captured now but I’m so free

And I finally know that I’m where I’m supposed to be

So I raise my hands, I get on my knees

‘Cause there’s nothing like the day the Spirit captured me

And there’s no one greater, I surrender I don’t need another Savior

I’m never gonna run


My ship was a wreck I couldn’t pay the debt

And I lost all my treasure so I hit the deck

When I saw Your banner
I knew I’d never run and I’m staying forever

I’m never gonna run, never gonna run, no



[Chorus – V.Rose]

[Flame]
Jesus here’s my white flag I surrender right now

I surrender right now, I surrender right now




Jesus here’s my white flag I surrender right now

Right now, right now, I surrender … now

Overall Meaning

The song Surrender by Flame, featuring V.Rose, is a powerful declaration of submission and devotion to God. The chorus expresses a commitment to not run away and to surrender oneself wholly to Him. The first verse cites the reasons for this surrender, acknowledging that God is the source of joy, freedom, and forgiveness. The second verse continues to build upon this theme, highlighting the greatness of Jesus as a mediator and savior. V.Rose’s verse adds a personal testimony of being captured and set free by God’s love, as well as a pledge to never leave His side. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and a final plea to Jesus to accept the white flag of surrender.


The lyrics of Surrender are a call to embrace and trust in God, acknowledging His sovereignty and goodness. The idea of surrendering oneself to a higher power may be unsettling to some, as it requires a letting go of control and a vulnerability that can be scary. However, the song reassures listeners that surrendering to God brings about true freedom and joy. The use of the metaphor of a white flag is also powerful, symbolizing a complete surrender and a recognition of defeat.
