Jesus Was A Cross Maker

(album: Cass Elliot - 1972)

One time I trusted a stranger
'Cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticing me
Though there was, there was something wrong
But when I turned, he was gone

Blinding me, his song remains reminding 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 flying 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

Fighting him he lights a lamp inviting 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 flying low for me

I heard the thunder come rumbling
The night never looked so dim
I see the junction get nearer
And danger is, is in the wind
And either road's looking grim

Hiding me, I flee, desire dividing 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 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
But when I turned, he was gone

Blinding me, his song remains reminding me
He's a bandit and a heart breaker
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Oh, Jesus was a cross maker
