Symbol of a Lost Cause lyrics

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,
