Jesus Was a Cross Maker - Acoustic Version

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
 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)
