"Jesus was a cross maker" mostra sua escrita sofisticada e mística, e é talvez sua canção mais conhecida, interpretada por outros luminares daquela década, como Mama Cass.
Jesus was a cross maker
Judee Sill
Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flyin' low for me
One time I trusted a stranger
Cuz I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticin' me
Tho there was somethin' wrong,
But when I turned he was gone.
Blindin' me, his song remains remindin' 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 flyin' low for me
He wages war with the devil
A pistol by his side
And tho he chases him out windows
And won't give him a place to hide,
He keeps his door open wide
Fightin' him he lights a lamp invitin' 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 flyin' low for me
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 heart breaker.
Oh, but Jesus was a cross maker
Yes, Jesus was a cross maker
