[Verse 1 – When I Saw the Banner] I saw the banner on the mountain wind, Torn from a coat, but it spoke within. A call to courage, a cry to believe, “For God and freedom—stand, don’t leave.” The crowd was still, the fear was loud, But one man’s faith could shake a crowd. Conviction rose, a storm in me, And I swore to fight for liberty. [Chorus – My Turn to Stand] I raise the title, lift it high, Over my home, beneath God’s sky. For my faith, my peace, my land, my kin, Let the covenant start again within. Raise the title, let them see, That freedom’s flame still burns in me. [Verse 2 – The Weight of the Oath] He knelt in armor, I bowed in dust, We prayed for strength, we swore our trust. Not for glory, not for fame, But to guard the promise in His name. The steel was cold, the night was near, But faith cut deeper than the fear. I took my place among the brave, A soldier in the cause He gave. [Bridge – Quiet Resolve] When I’m tired, when I’m torn, When my courage feels worn, Remind my heart what freedom means, What the banner still redeems. [Final Chorus – The Covenant Lives] I raise the title, high and clear, Till every heart can conquer fear. By covenant hands and humble flame, We’ll keep the promise in His name. Raise the title, let it soar, Freedom’s cry forevermore. [Outro – Whispered / Softly Sung] “In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.”
