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 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 Blinding me his song remains reminding me 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
