HOLLIES - Jesus Was A Crossmaker lyrics

rate me

(Sill)

Sweet silver angels over the sea

please come down flying low for me

One time I trusted a stranger

'cause I heard his sweet song

And it was gently enticing me

though there was something wrong

When I turned he was gone

Blinding me his song remains reminding me

he's a bandit and a heartbreaker

Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker

chorus

He wages war with the devil

a pistol by his side

And though he chases him out my window and

won't give him a place to hide

He keeps his door open wide

Fighting him

he lights a lamp inviting him

He's a bandit and a heartbreaker

oh but Jesus was a crossmaker

chorus

I hear the thunder come rumbling

the light never looked so dim

I see the junction get nearer

and danger's in the wind

and either road's looking grim

Hiding me I flee desire's dividing me

He's a bandit and a heartbreaker

Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker

Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker
