He could have prospered in the suburbs Instead of working for the poor Down at the inner-city mission Where there's so much disappointment and very few rewards For every victory there's a failure On these harsh and empty streets But if you ask what keeps him going He'll say, "i know where I'd be if christ had given up on me-"
Chorus: Beneath the symbol of a lost cause Is where I take my stand Beneath the emblem of a roman cross Of a sacrificial lamb Cause love never claims the victory Till it finally gives it's all And that's why the grave is empty Beneath the symbol of a lost cause
I've been a slave to popular opinions And I've memorized the gospel of success I've had a taste of the politics of power And the glamour that commands the world's respect But when my eyes are turned to jesus Nailed on a cross to die for me I hear a cock crow in the distance And it shatters my illusions and drives me to my knees-
Bridge: Where the last and the least meet the prince of their peace Where the humble are honored and the hungry come to feast-
