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
Itd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didnt 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 didnt 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 cant do this on my own
Im letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road Im 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 Im sorry for the way
Ive been living my life
I know Ive got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I cant do this on my own
Im letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road Im on


Ooh Jesus take the wheel
Ooh Im letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road Im on
From this road Im on
Jesus take the wheel
Ooh take it take it from me
Ooh ooh wah ah ooh ooh ooh
