| She was driving last Friday
|
| On her way to Cincinaty
|
| On a snow white Christmas Eve
|
| Going home to see her mama and her daddy
|
| With the baby in the back seat
|
| Fifteen miles to go
|
| And she was running low on faith ang 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 to fast
|
| Before she knew it
|
| She was spinning on a thin black seat of glass
|
| She saw both their lifes flash before her eyes
|
| She didn’t even have time to cry
|
| She was so, 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 change
|
| To save me from this road I’m on
|
| Jesus, take the wheel
|
| It was still getting colder
|
| When she made 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 gotta change
|
| But for 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 change
|
| To save me from this road I’m onJesus, take the wheel
|
| Oh, take it from me
|
| Jesus, take that wheel. |
