Surrender All
\nby Clay Crosse<\/p>\n
(0:06) I have wrestled in the darkness of this lonely pilgrim land
\nRaising strong and mighty fortresses that I alone command
\nBut these castles I’ve constructed by the strength of my own hand
\nAre just temporary kingdoms on foundations made of sand<\/p>\n
(0:35) In the middle of the battle I believe I’ve finally found
\nI’ll never know the thrill of victory ’til I’m willing to lay down
\nAll my weapons of defense and earthly strategies of war
\nSo I’m laying down my arms and running helplessly to Yours<\/p>\n
(1:03) I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams
\nThough the price to follow costs me everything
\nI surrender all my human soul desires
\nIf sacrifice requires
\nThat all my kingdoms fall
\nI surrender all<\/p>\n
(1:40) If the source of my ambition is the treasure I obtain
\nIf I measure my successes on a scale of earthly gain
\nIf the focus of my vision is the status I attain
\nMy accomplishments are worthless and my efforts are in vain<\/p>\n
(2:09) So I lay aside these trophies to pursue a higher crown
\nAnd should You choose somehow to use the life I willingly lay
\ndown
\nI surrender all the triumph for it’s only by Your grace
\nI relinquish all the glory, I surrender all the praise<\/p>\n
(2:37)\u00a0 I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams
\nThough the price to follow costs me everything
\nI surrender all my human soul desires
\nIf sacrifice requires
\nThat all my kingdoms fall
\nI surrender all<\/p>\n
(3:15) Everything I am, all I’ve done, and all I’ve known
\nNow belongs to You, the life I live is not my own
\nJust as Abraham laid Isaac on the sacrificial fire
\nIf all I have is all that You desire
\nI surrender all<\/p>\n
(3:56) I surrender all my human soul desires
\nIf sacrifice requires
\nThat all my kingdoms fall
\nThat all my kingdoms fall
\nThat all my kingdoms fall
\nI surrender all<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
