Crosse clay i turn to you lyrics

David Moffit and Reggie Hamm

I have wrestled in the darkness of this lonely pilgrim land

Raising strong and mighty fortresses that I alone command

But these castles I've constructed by the strength of my own hand

Are just temporary kingdoms on foundations made of sand

In the middle of the battle I beleive I've finally found

I'll never know the thrill of victory 'til I'm willing to lay down

All my weapons of defense and earthly strategies of war

So I'm laying down my arms and running helplessly to Yours

Chorus:

I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams

Though the price to follow costs me everything

I surrender all my human soul desires

If sacrafice requires

That all my kingdoms fall

I surrender all

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:

Everything I am, all I've done, and all I've known

Now belongs to You, the life I live is not my own

Just as Abraham laid Isaac on the sacraficial fire

If all I have is all that You desire

I surrender all
