She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinatti
on a snow white Christmas eve.
Going home to see her momma and her daddy
with the baby in the back seat.
Fifty miles to go,
and she was running low on faith and gasoline.
It'd been a long, hard year.
She had a lot on her mind
and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast.
before she knew it,
she was spinning on a thin, black sheet of glass.
She saw both their lives
flash before her eyes,
she didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared.
She threw her hands up in the air.
Jesus take the wheel,
take it from my hands,
cause I can't do this on my own.
I'm letting go,
so give me one more chance.
so Save me from this road I'm on.
Jesus take the wheel.
It was still getting colder
when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop.
She cried when she saw, that baby in the backseat
sleeping like a rock.
And for the first time in a long time,
she bowed her head to pray.
she said "I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life,"
I know I've got to change
so from now on, tonight"
Jesus take the wheel.
take it from my hands,
cause I can't do this on my own.
I'm letting go,
so give me one more chance.
To save me from this road I'm on.
Oh, Jesus take the wheeeeeeeeel
Oh, I'm letting go,
so give me one more chance,
so save me from this road I'm on.
From this road I'm on.
Jesus take the wheel.
Oh, take it, take it from me.
