I surrender all

Dec 12

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 believe I have finally found

I'll never know the thrill of victory till I lay pain down

All my weapons of defense and earthly strategies of war

I'm laying down my arms and running hopeful to your arms

I surrender all my silent hopes and dreams

Though the price to follow costs me everything

I surrender all my human soul desires

If following requires that all my own kingdoms fall

I surrender all to find you

Grounded in purpose
