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

[Chorus]
D   G/B     C                        G/B
I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams
  B                  Em             Dsus
Though the price to follow cost me everything
D    G/B    C                   D
I surrender all my human soul desires
    B           Em
If sacrifice requires
      Em      D       C
That all my kingdoms fall
      Dsus     C
I surrender all
    Asus2    G    D/F#   G
I surrender all

[Verse]
        G                           B
If the source of my ambition is the treasure I obtain
     Em                       Dsus                     D
If I measure my successes on a scale of earthly gain
        G                         B
If the focus of my vision is the status I attain
     Em                                  Dsus                G/B
My accomplishments are worthless and my efforts are in vain
      C                           G/B
So I lay aside these trophies to pursue a higher crown
And should you to somehow use the life I willingly lay down
    C                                 B      Em
I surrender all the triumph for it's only by Your grace
    C                G/B       C                Dsus
I relinquish all the glory, I surrender all my praise

[Chorus]
D   G/B     C                        G/B
I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams
  B                  Em             Dsus
Though the price to follow cost me everything
D    G/B    C                   D
I surrender all my human soul desires
    B           Em
If sacrifice requires
      Em      D       C
That all my kingdoms fall
      Dsus     C
I surrender all
    Asus2    G    D/F#   G
I surrender all

[Bridge]
   Am                   G/B
Everything I am, all I've done, and all I've known
C                              G/B
Now belongs to You, the life I live is not my own
          Am                           B       Em
Just as Abraham laid Isaac on the sacrificial fire
    Am            G/B               Dsus
If all I have is all that You desire
D        G/B      C      G/B    B    Em    Dsus
I      surrender all

[Chorus]
E     A      D       E             Db
I surrender all my human soul desires
       F#m                  F#m      E      D
If sacrifice requires that all my kingdoms fall
     F#m       E     D
That all my kingdoms fall
     F#m       E     D    E
That all my kingdoms fall
     E/G     A
I surrender all
