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 would 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 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
all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To 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
all 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 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
