I Surrender All

I have wrestled in the darkness
Of this lonely pilgrim land
Raising strong and mighty fortress
That I alone command
But these castles 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’ve believed I’ve finally found
I’ll never know the thrill of victory
Till I am 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
Cost me everything
Well I surrender all
My human soul desires
If sacrifice requires
That all my kingdoms fall
I surrender all
But the source of my ambition
Is the treasure I obtain?
If I measure my success
On a scale of earthly gain
When the focus of my vision
Is the status I obtain
My accomplishments are worthless
And my efforts are in vain
So I lay aside these trophies
To pursuer a higher ground
And should you choose somehow
To use this life
I willingly 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
Cost 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
