Judee Sill - Jesus Was A Cross Maker lyrics

rate me

Sweet silver angels over the sea<br />

Please come down flyin’ low for me<br />

One time I trusted a stranger<br />

'Cuz I heard his sweet song<br />

<br />

And it was gently enticin’ me<br />

Tho there was somethin’ wrong<br />

But when I turned he was gone<br />

<br />

Blindin’ me, his song remains remindin’ me<br />

He’s a bandit and a heart breaker<br />

<br />

Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker<br />

Sweet silver angels over the sea<br />

Please come down flyin’ low for me<br />

<br />

He wages war with the devil<br />

A pistol by his side<br />

And tho he chases him out windows<br />

And won’t give him a place to hide<br />

<br />

He keeps his door open wide<br />

Fightin’ him he lights a lamp invitin’ him<br />

He’s a bandit and a heart breaker<br />

Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker<br />

<br />

Sweet silver angels over the sea<br />

Please come down flyin’ low for me<br />

<br />

I heard the thunder come rumblin’<br />

The light never looked so dim<br />

I see the junction git nearer’<br />

And danger is in the wind<br />

<br />

And either road’s lookin’ grim<br />

Hidin’ me, I flee, desire dividin’ me<br />

He’s a bandit and a heart breaker<br />

Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker<br />

<br />

Yes, Jesus was a cross maker<br />

Sweet silver angels over the sea<br />

Please come down flyin’ low for me<br />

One time I trusted a stranger<br />

'Cuz I heard his sweet song<br />

<br />

And it was gently enticin’ me<br />

Tho there was somethin’ wrong<br />

But when I turned he was gone<br />

<br />

Blindin’ me, his song remains remindin’ me<br />

He’s a bandit and a heart breaker<br />

<br />

Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker<br />

Sweet silver angels over the sea<br />

Please come down flyin’ low for me
