Jesus Was a Crossmaker Songtext
von Judee Sill

Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please, come down flyin′ low for me

One time, I trusted a stranger
'Cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin′ me
Tho' there was somethin' wrong
But, when I turned, he was gone

Blindin′ me, his song remains remindin′ me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker

Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please, come down flyin′ low for me

He wages war with the devil
A pistol by his side
And tho' he chases him out windows
And won′t give him a place to hide
He keeps his door open wide


Fightin' him, he lights a lamp invitin′ him
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker

Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin' low for me

I hear the thunder come rumblin′
The light never looked so dim
I see the junction git nearer
And danger is in the wind
And either road′s lookin' grim

Hidin′ me, I flee, desire dividin' me
He′s a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker

Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please, come down flyin' low for me

One time I trusted a stranger
′Cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin' me
Tho' there was somethin′ wrong
But, when I turned, he was gone


Blindin′ me, his song remains remindin' me
He′s a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
