I Surrender All Lyrics

I have wrestled in the darkness of this lonely pilgrim land
Raising strong and mighty fortresses that I alone command
But these castles that I’ve constructed by the strength of my own hand
Are just temporary kingdoms on foundations made of sand

In the middle of the battle I believe I’ve finally found
I never know the thrill of victory till I’m willing to lay down
All my weapons of defense and earthly strategies of war
So I’m laying down my arms and running helplessly to yours

I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams
Though the price to follow costs me everything
Well I surrender all my human soul desires
If sacrifice requires
That all my kingdoms fall
I surrender all

If the source of my ambition is the treasure I obtain
If I measure my successes on a scale of earthly gain
If the focus of my vision is the status I obtain
My accomplishments are worthless and my efforts are in vein

So I lay aside these trophies to peruse a higher crown
And should we chose somehow to use the life I willing to lay down
I surrender all the triumph for it's only by your grace
I relinquish all the glory, I surrender all the praise

I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams
Though the price to follow costs me everything
Well I surrender all my human soul desires
If sacrifice requires
That all my kingdoms fall
I surrender all

Everything I am, all I've done, and all I've known
Now belongs to you, the life I live is not my own
Just as Abraham laid Isaac on the sacrificial fire
If all I have is all that you desire
I surrender all

I surrender all my human soul desires
If sacrifice requires
That all my kingdoms fall
That all my kingdoms fall
That all my kingdoms fall
I surrender all
