Jesus, Take the Wheel

She was drivin' last Friday on the way to Cincinnati

On a snow-white Christmas Eve

Goin' home to see her mama and her daddy

With the baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go and she was runnin' 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 goin' way too fast

Before she knew it

She was spinnin' 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

Save me from this road I'm on

Jesus, take the wheel"

It was still gettin' 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

Sleepin' 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 livin' 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

Save me from this road I'm on

Oh, Jesus, take the wheel"

"Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

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"

Oh, whoa, ooh
