INTRO: 
A/G (2x)OR G (2x) 


VERSE 1 
           D                               F# 
I have wrestled in the darkness of this lonely pilgrim land 
          Bm                              A4 
Raising strong and mighty fortresses that I alone command 
             D                               F# 
But these castles I've constructed by the strength of my own hand 
             Bm                     A4               D/F# 
Are just temporary kingdoms on foundations made of sand 
          G                      D/F#                    
In the middle of the battle I believe I've finally found 
             G                                    D             D/F# 
I'll never know the thrill of victory 'til I'm willing to lay down 
          G                            F#           Bm     
All my weapons of defense and earthly strategies of war 
          Em                     D/F#       G         A4 
So I'm laying down my arms and running helplessly to Yours 

Chorus: 
A   D/F#     G                        D/F# 
I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams 
  F#                  Bm    A4       A  
Though the price to follow cost me everything 
A    D/F#    G                   A 
I surrender all my human soul desires 
       F#       Bm 
If sacrifice requires 
      Bm      A       G 
That all my kingdoms fall 
      A9  G 
I surrender all 
 
(2nd time:  
    A9    G    D/F#   G 
I surrender all) 
 
VERSE 2 

(Follow same chord progression as first verse) 

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: 
     Dm                   C/E                      
Everything I am , all I've done, and all I've known 
F                               C/E                Am7 
Now belongs to You, the life I live is not my own 
          Dm                           C/E         
Just as Abraham laid Isaac on the sacrificial fire 
    Dm            C/E          A4 
If all I have is all that You desire 
A4      D/F#   G      D/F#    F#    Bm    A4 
I      surrender all 

Short Chorus with key change 
B     E      A       B           Ab 
I surrender all my human soul desires 
       Dbm                 Dbm      B      A 
If sacrifice requires that all my kingdoms fall 
     Dbm       B     A 
That all my kingdoms fall 
     Dbm       B     A    B 
That all my kingdoms fall 
     B/A     E 
I surrender all
