Jesus, Take the Wheel

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati   On a snow white Christmas Eve          Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat                              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 to 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 sooo 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 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         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 why oh
