(ascap)
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 c-ck 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-
