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 

chorus 

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 

chorus 

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
