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 backseatFifty miles to go and she was running low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard yearShe 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 glassShe 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 airJesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my ownI'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheelIt 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 rockAnd 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 lifeI know I've got to change
So from now on tonightJesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my ownI'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm onOh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting goSo give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on (2x)
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
oh, oh, oh wooh
