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
But 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 windows and won't give him a place to hide
He keeps his door open wide
Fighting him he lights the lamp inviting him he's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh, but Jesus was a crossmaker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me
I heard the thunder come rumbling, the light never looked so dim
I see the junction get nearer and danger is in the wind
And either road's looking grim
Hiding me I flee, desire dividing me, he's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh, but 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
But 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's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh, Jesus was a crossmaker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me
