I Surrender All - Clay Crosse

作词：David Moffitt/Regie Hamm

作曲：David Moffitt/Regie Hamm

I have wrestled in the darkness

Of this lonely pilgrim land

Raising strong and mighty

Fortresses 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 beleive I＇ve finally found

I＇ll never know the thrill of

Victory ＇til 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

I surrender all my human soul desires

If sacrafice 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 attain

My accomplishments are worthless

And my efforts are in vain

So I lay aside these trophies

To pursue a higher crown

And should You choose somehow

To use the 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

costs me everything

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 sacraficial 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
