She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
on a snow white Christmas eve
going home to see her mama and 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
and 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 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 am 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 back seat
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 I'm on
Oh Jesus take the wheel and take it from me
Ohhh... jesus take the wheel
