This is the song that made me an Andrew Osenga fan. It’s almost unbearably honest, so beautiful, so contrite. It expresses so eloquently the way I’ve felt in the wake of sin that I have more than once muttered this song as my best prayer for forgiveness and help. On this note, have a great weekend and be thankful that you are loved.
TOO FAR TO WALK (from the album Photographs)
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus I did what I planned to do And I feel like I knew I would feel Now I want to come back to You
My mind is thick and it’s dirty My heart, it ran to hide My plans proved I don’t know what I’m doing Cause I used to feel alive
[Chorus] There’s an angel on my left shoulder And ten devils on my right Jesus, you’ll have to come get me Cause it’s too far to walk tonight
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus How can I explain These promises scattered ‘Round the floor by the bed Like dinner clothes after a date
I get scared that forgiveness Is for better people So I give up trying to fight Jesus, you’ll have to come get me Cause it’s too far to walk tonight
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus How precious is that name And while you’re forgiving I’m sorry I forget That you came for sinners to save
[Chorus] There’s an angel on my left shoulder And ten devils on my right Jesus, you’ll have to come get me Cause it’s too far to walk tonight
