Elizabethtown movie - Jesus Was a Crossmaker lyrics

rate me

Song by The Hollies<br /><br>

Sweet silver angels over the sea <br>

please come down flying low for me <br>

<br>

One time I trusted a stranger <br>

'cause I heard his sweet song <br>

And it was gently enticing me <br>

though there was something wrong <br>

When I turned he was gone <br>

<br>

Blinding me his song remains reminding me <br>

he's a bandit and a heartbreaker <br>

Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker <br>

<br>

chorus <br>

<br>

He wages war with the devil <br>

a pistol by his side <br>

And though he chases him out my window and <br>

won't give him a place to hide <br>

He keeps his door open wide <br>

Fighting him <br>

he lights a lamp inviting him <br>

He's a bandit and a heartbreaker <br>

oh but Jesus was a crossmaker <br>

<br>

chorus <br>

<br>

I hear the thunder come rumbling <br>

the light never looked so dim <br>

I see the junction get nearer <br>

and danger's in the wind <br>

and either road's looking grim <br>

<br>

Hiding me I flee desire's dividing me <br>

He's a bandit and a heartbreaker <br>

Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker <br>

Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker <br>

<br>
