Clay Crosse – I Surrender All

Clay Crosse – I Surrender All Lyrics

Artist: Clay Crosse
Song: I Surrender All

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

I surrender all
My silent hopes and dreams
Though the price to follow
Costs me everything

Well, 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
I surrender all
My silent hopes and dreams
Though the price to follow

Costs 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
