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
lt'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
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
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 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
