well i’ve been promised the world in your name
in the morning it all sounds the same
well they tell me i’m new, that i matter to you
i want to believe it’s true

so i set out all smiles to see
the grand plan of eternity
and all that i find are ambushing sorrows
i can’t even predict my tomorrows

it’s feeling less like a quest
to capture what’s best for me
and more like a war that i must surrender

the easy advice, “fall upon trust”
but i want to believe just because i must
evidence that speaks louder than doubt
love so real – my fears are drowned out

but i would not be loving you
if i did not choose
to believe you’re true

so this is my white flag
take me over

all that i am
i lay at Your feet
and joyously
i claim defeat
