INTRO:

VERSE 1 
           D5                               F#5 
I have wrestled in the darkness of this lonely pilgrim land 
          B5                              A5 
Raising strong and mighty fortresses that I alone command 
             D5                               F#5 
But these castles I've constructed by the strength of my own hand 
             B5                     A5               D5 
Are just temporary kingdoms on foundations made of sand 
          G5                      D5                    
In the middle of the battle I believe I've finally found 
             G5                                    D5             D5 
I'll never know the thrill of victory 'til I'm willing to lay down 
          G5                            F#5           B5     
All my weapons of defense and earthly strategies of war 
          E5                     D5       G5         A5 
So I'm laying down my arms and running helplessly to Yours 

Chorus: 
A5   D5     G5                        D5 
I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams 
  F#5                  B5    A5       A5  
Though the price to follow cost me everything 
A5    D5    G5                   A5 
I surrender all my human soul desires 
       F#5       B5 
If sacrifice requires 
      B5      A5       G5 
That all my kingdoms fall 
      A5  G5 
I surrender all 
 
(2nd time:  
    A5    G5    D5   G5 
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: 
     D5                   C5                      
Everything I am , all I've done, and all I've known 
F5                               C5                A5 
Now belongs to You, the life I live is not my own 
          D5                           C5         
Just as Abraham laid Isaac on the sacrificial fire 
    D5            C5          A5 
If all I have is all that You desire 
A5      D5   G5      D5    F#5    B5    A5 
I      surrender all 

Short Chorus with key change 
B5     E5      A5       B5           Ab5 
I surrender all my human soul desires 
       Db5                 Db5      B5      A5 
If sacrifice requires that all my kingdoms fall 
     Db5       B5     A5 
That all my kingdoms fall 
     Db5       B5     A5    B5 
That all my kingdoms fall 
     B5     E5 
I surrender all
