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

and 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

and save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel


Jesus take the wheel
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance

Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
oh, Jesus take the wheel

oh, im letting go
so give me one more chance
save me from this road im on

Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, ah, oh
