One more to add to the old Contemporary Christian songs before I move to another category. This is another one recorded by Clay Crosse.


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'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


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


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 sacrificial fire
If all I have is all that You desire
I surrender all

    The camera is good quality - a Sony Handycam. They have good mics. Though I do have to turn away just a bit if I'm really belting something out. It would be better if I had a proper mic, but this works for now. I just get close when I'm singing soft and turn away or back off when I get loud. Or in this case, I've found when I film my profile, the sound is pretty good as long as the music isn't too loud.

  • really nice. How ...

    really nice. How are you able to belt out the notes without your camera sounding like static? I have a somewhat deep, powerful voice and I would love to put videos put when I belt out the high notes, my camera sounds all static-like. Is it the quality of the camera?
