The lyrics use the imagery of raising a white flag to symbolize laying down weapons of rebellion and ending the inner battle against God. The song emphasizes that through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, peace is made and love triumphs. It calls believers to lift the cross high in celebration of this victory. The message is one of surrender, peace, and the overwhelming power of God's love that wins the war for our hearts.

The battle rages on
As storm and tempest 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
Your love has won
We lift the cross
Lift it high lift it high [x8]
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 [x4]
