Jesus Was A Cross Maker lyrics

Artist  : Zevon Warren 
Song : Jesus Was A Cross Maker
 
written by Judee Sill 1972 EMI Blackwood Music

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)
