Surrender All by Crosse Clay
(Take a minute and read)
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 sacrifice 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

These lyrics pretty much wrap up the point of surrendering ourselves to God. The line between becoming Christ's disciple or the world's lays at your feet everyday. God asks you to give up your plans so that he can create in us a heart that comes straight from Him. In my experiences, I've noticed that I have set up this wall of refusal in different chambers of my heart. Do you do that? What's crazy is that I set them up because I'm afraid of what it might be like after God changes them. But WHEN HAS HE EVER LED ME ASTRAY?? God only has amazing intentions for my life and for yours. We shouldn't allow our intentions to get in the way of what God has for us. Do you desire for an unquenchable passionate fire in your heart? We just need to go to the foot of the cross, and surrender the chambers of our heart. The ending result will be eternal, something our desires could never fulfill....
