The Hollies — Jesus Was A Crossmaker lyrics

Lyrics

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
Ohh, but Jesus was a crossmaker
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me 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
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me 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
(piano ending)
