Love is a Flag Flown High / Castle of my Heart

The origin of this is children's praise chorus and action song is unknown. It was included in Scripture in Song Volume 2 in 1981, with copyright listed as unknown. This blog says it was an early song used in the Charismatic movement within mainline churches.

Alternative versions of the words include "There is a flag flying high ...", "There is a flag that's flown".

Verses may be added for other attributes (joy, love, hope, peace) as desired.

Alternative titles include "Joy is the the Flag" and similar phrases.

It is set to an un-named tune, in 4/4 time, in a major key: when set in D, the range goes from low A to high D, making it fairly challenging to sing.

Lyrics

Love is a flag flying high from the castle of my heart,
From the castle of my heart, from the castle of my heart.
Love is a flag flying high from the castle of my heart,
For the King is in residence there.

[Chorus]
So let it fly in the sky let the whole world know,
Let the whole world know, let the whole world know.
So let it fly in the sky let the whole world know,
That the King is in residence there.

Faith is a flag flying high...

Joy is a flag flying high...

And others as required.
