She was drivin' last friday on her way to Cincinnati On a snow white Christmas Eve Goin' home to see her Momma and her Daddy With her baby in a back seat Fifty miles to go and she was runnin' 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 goin' way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinnin on 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 Give me one more chance 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 that car came to a stop She cried when she saw that baby in the back seat sleepin' like a rock 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 livin' 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, oh..
