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
