jesus was a crossmaker

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

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

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
