Lyrics for 'Symbol Of A Lost Cause' by 'Ginny Owens'
Words And Music By Kyle Matthews, Ginny Owens, Dwight Liles: Bmg Songs, Inc.

(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 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-
