Chords for Clay Crosse - I Surrender All

[C#m] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ [F#] _
I [C#] have wrestled in the darkness [F] of this lonely pilgrim land
[A#m] Raising strong and mighty _ [G#] fortresses I alone command
But [C#] these castles I've constructed by [F] the strength of my own hand
[A#m] Are just temporary kingdoms on [G#] foundations made of [C#] sand
In [F#] the middle of a battle, [C#] free by my hand
I [F#] never know the thrill of victory [C#] till I'm willing to lay down
All [F#] my weapons of defense and earthly [F] strategies [A#m] of war
So [D#m] I'm laying down [C#] my arms and running [F#] helplessly to [C#] your hall
[F#] I [C#] surrender [F#] all my silent hopes [C#] and dreams
[F] For the price [A#m] to follow costs me [G#] everything
[C#] I surrender [F#] all my human [G#] soul, desire [F] and sacrifice [A#m] requires
May all [G#] my kingdoms [F#]
fall, I [G#] surrender
[C#] The [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] source of my ambition [F] is the treasure I obtain
[A#m] If I measure my successes on [G#] a scale of earth, me, game, and love
[C#] If the focus of my vision [F] is the status I attain
[A#m] My accomplishments are worthless and [G#] my efforts are in vain
[C#] [F#] So I lay aside these trophies to [C#] pursue a higher crown
And [F#] should you choose somehow to use the life [C#] I am willing
For _ _ _ [F#] the triumph of _ [F] _
[A#m] the race, [D#m] I relinquish all the [C#] glory
_ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ I surrender [F#] all my silent hopes [C#] and dreams
[F] For the price [A#m] to follow costs me [G#] everything
[C#] I surrender [F#] all my human [G#] soul, [F] desire and sacrifice [A#m] requires
May [G#]
all my kingdoms [F#] fall, I [G#] surrender
_ [F#] _ _ _
[C#] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] Everything I am, all [B] I've done and all I've known
Now belongs to you, the life I live is not my own
_ [C#m] Abraham laid eyes [B] on the sacrificial [G#m] fire
[C#m] If all _ [B] _
_ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ [F] _ _ [A#m] _ _ _
_ [G#] _ [A#m] _ [Gm] _ _ [G#] _ _ _
_ [A#] _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _
[A#] my [G#] kingdoms fall, [Cm] _ [A#] _ [G#] _ [Cm] let all
[A#] _ [G#] _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ _ [A#] _ _ [G#] _ _
