One more to add to the old Contemporary Christian songs before I move to another category. This is another one recorded by Clay Crosse.I have wrestled in the darknessOf this lonely pilgrim landRaising strong and mighty fortressesThat I alone commandBut these castles I've constructedBy the strength of my own handAre just temporary kingdomsOn foundations made of sandIn the middle of the battleI believe I've finally foundI'll never know the thrill of victory'Til I'm willing to lay downAll my weapons of defenseAnd earthly strategies of warSo I'm laying down my armsAnd running helplessly to YoursI surrender all my silent hopes and dreamsThough the price to follow costs me everythingI surrender all my human soul desiresIf sacrifice requires that all my kingdoms fallI surrender all If the source of my ambitionIs the treasure I obtainIf I measure my successesOn a scale of earthly gainIf the focus of my visionIs the status I attainMy accomplishments are worthlessAnd my efforts are in vainSo I lay aside these trophiesTo pursue a higher crownAnd should you choose somehow to use the lifeI willingly lay downI surrender all the triumphFor it's only by Your graceI relinquish all the gloryI surrender all the praiseEverything I am, all I've done, and all I've knownNow belongs to you, the life I live is not my ownJust as Abraham laid Isaac on the sacrificial fireIf all I have is all that You desireI surrender all
