I Surrender All lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics I Surrender All lyrics David Moffit and Reggie 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 believe 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 Chorus: 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 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 Bridge: 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 song lyrics
