VERSE 1
           D                               F#
I have wrestled in the darkness of this lonely pilgrim land

          Bm                              Asus4
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                     Asus4               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         Asus4
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    Asus4       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

      Asus2  G
I surrender all

(2nd time:

    Asus2    G    D/F#   G
I surrender all)


(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          Asus4
If all I have is all that You desire

Asus4      D/F#   G      D/F#    F#    Bm    Asus4
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
