Jesus Was A Cross Maker Lyrics

Jesus Was A Cross Maker

written by Judee Sill 1972 EMI Blackwood Music BMI
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
It was gently enticing me
But
there was something wrong
And when I turned
He was gone
Blinding
me
His song remains reminding me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
My
Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down
flying low for me
He wages war with the devil
With a pistol by His
side
He's always chasing him out of windows
And He won't give him a place
to hide
But he keeps His door
Open wide
Fighting him
He lights a
lamp inviting him
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
My Jesus was a cross
maker
Yeah, Jesus was a cross maker
(here's a verse Ms. Sill wrote, which
Warren leaves out:
maybe he thought he had enough thunder on this record,
already:
I heard 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 heartbreaker.
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a
cross maker)
