Lyrics The Hollies

The Hollies

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

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
