I see in my minds eye an interesting scene

The flying of a flag

A bunker where my soul does rest

My sweat does soak thick rags.

My fighting it seems I thought so well

Yet now I see in full

The war now raging in my heart

Is a wrestling with The Truth.

I reach the point of no escape

And Christ does whisper now,

“Are you ready to lay Thy life

In full surrender child?”

For wrestling hard will wear you down

And I have plans for you.

Don’t you think it’s coming time 

To wave the white flag soon?

A recess deep within your heart

You keep from giving Me

A holding fast of some desires

You do not even see.

Yet I’m the only respite there

For joy comes in My plans

Peace will come the moment dear 

You surrender and wave the flag.
