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      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
