Raise My Flag

You take a broken soul like mine
Transform it like its water to wine
Each and every day I defy you
You guide me home regardless of what I do
Cause I wanted to tell everybody
That I feel bad
If I ever wronged you or made you feel mad
At me
Forgive me
Everyone is owed my apology
Cause in truth
I might be just a person
The world can bring out the worst in me
Doesn't even matter if there's history
I look at heaven like it's my one true home
But heaven is not where I deserve to be
I say that assuredly
I know my pride tends to murder me
And I'm hurting see
Cause I feel guilty
Even though I know there's some bridges I'm building
I'm burning them faster than eyes can see
Lord help me
I'm giving myself up
Myself up

Give me hope when I've fallen astray
Lead me back to that spot that you saved
I hold back when you call out my name
But today is the day where I raise my flag
Help me try harder and harder to be better
Close my eyes to Satan's lies and avoid the trend setters
I've been blessed beyond belief
Now in falling down to my knees
My works are like dirty rags
So now I raise my flag

Yeah I try to hide in the covers of my bed
When I hear that there'll be dark days ahead
They're approaching now
They're pretty much here
Closer and closer they creep each year
And every time I think I'm in the clear
I fall victim to the pressure and fear
God save me I've done you wrong
Only so much I can do in a song
I pale in comparison
Every time I think I've got it good I just fail again
Only way to really get a grip is through you Lord
Without you I easily break like cardboard
Ridding my world of everything God-like
Thinking that I only need things that I like
I always fall back to you despite
All of the prideful thoughts in my mind
You're right
I'm worth something to you
And You're right
Evil can't make it's way right through
And I'm yours
Leaving all my past behind me
And you're mine
Everything beautiful reminds me
You take a broken soul like mine
Transform it like its water to wine
Each and every day I defy you
You guide me home regardless of what I do
You're right
I'm yours
You're mine

Give me hope when I've fallen astray
Lead me back to that spot that you saved
I hold back when you call out my name
But today is the day where I raise my flag
Help me try harder and harder to be better
Close my eyes to Satan's lies and avoid the trend setters
I've been blessed beyond belief
Now in falling down to my knees
My works are like dirty rags
So now I raise my flag
Give me hope when I've fallen astray
Lead me back to that spot that you saved
I hold back when you call out my name
But today is the day where I raise my flag
Help me try harder and harder to be better
Close my eyes to Satan's lies and avoid the trend setters
I've been blessed beyond belief
Now in falling down to my knees
My works are like dirty rags
So now I raise my flag
Now I raise my flag
Yeah I raise my flag
Yeah I raise my flag
