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

That all my kingdoms fall
