Jesus Was a Cross Maker

One time I trusted a stranger
'Cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin' me
Though there was, there was somethin' wrong
But when I turned, he was gone
Blindin' me, his song remains remindin' me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin' low for me
He wages war with the devil
A pistol by his side
And though he chases him out windows
And won't give him a, won't give him a place to hide
He keeps his door open wide
Fightin' him he lights a lamp invitin' him
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin' low for me
I heard the thunder come rumblin'
The night never looked so dim
I see the junction get nearer
And danger is, is in the wind
And either road's lookin' grim
Hidin' me, I flee, desire dividin' me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yeah, Jesus was a cross maker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin' low for me
One time I trusted a stranger
'Cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin' me
Though there was somethin' wrong
But when I turned, he was gone
Blindin' me, his song remains remindin' me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, Jesus was a cross maker
