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, she was running low on faith in 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 all on my own Imma let it 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
Imma let it go So give me one more chance To 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
