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-
