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-
