White Blue and Red
A half-hearted surrender will not half-heartedly bring
A whole heart God's salvation overcoming everything
For only full surrender bring one's heart before God's throne
And only full surrender can make true salvation known
But many think that partially submitting to God's will
That partially pretending their relationship is real
Will usher them in heaven through those gates of pearly white
And make them always welcome in that city filled with light
They think that some indulgence in the worldly ways of men
A little goodness here and there and just a little sin
Will easily be overlooked for all the good they do
And one day they'll wear robes of light all perfect white and new
But white worn in God's Kingdom where the saints will live with Him
Is representative of how His grace has lived in them
Of how through faith they gave their all as He gave all in love
To make in them that character that will be lived above
Among the sinless angels and the folks from other worlds
Who with anticipation watched as Satan's host was hurled
Into the world where sin was proved for what is truly is
The self-destructive fallacy that causes us to miss
The beauty of submission to God's Law and will for men
The blue that will be worn around those robes that bear no sin
That once was worn by priests of God to teach the people of
The purity of joyfulness that's found in those who love
Their Saviour Who is God and King Redeemer and I Am
Who died our death upon the cross as God's most perfect Lamb
Who poured out His own precious blood of purest crimson red
Assuring us that we are His when washed by blood He bled
So when you think half-heartedly you'll seek the Lord today
Remember the whole heart He gave when for you He did pay
And how those precious colors have a lesson we must learn
About reciprocating love when it becomes our turn
Through full complete surrender that holds back not one reserve
That seeks the Lord most earnestly in how He'd have us serve
And longs more than this life itself to see our Saviour's face
And wear the white bound by the blue through red that's ours by grace
