Rebel Heart

I heard a song the other day, 'White Flag' by Chris Tomlin.

First of all, I love his music.  Love it.  So it's pretty likely that I'm gonna like whatever new song he comes out with, but this one really touched a nerve with me.  Touched a nerve in that good kind of painful way. 

I've been battling inside my own head and heart for the last few weeks, not bothering to ask for his help.  And he's been watching, waiting patiently for me to remember, again, that I cannot possibly win this by myself, that I cannot beat myself into submission.  Waiting for me to remember how much he wants to step in and help me, but like a gentleman, waits to be invited into the fray and dives in headfirst as soon as he gets the nod.

These are the words that got me all off-balance:

'We cannot win this fight
Inside our rebel hearts
We're laying down our weapons now

We raise our white flags
We surrender all to you
All for you
We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won'

There is no shame in surrendering to him, letting his love wash over you. 

You just have to remember to do it.

His peace be with you all tonight, my friends.
