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
50 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
And before she knew she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both her lives flash before her eyes, she didn't even had 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
So 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 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 know 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
Save me from this road I'm on
Oh, Jesus take the wheel

I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Just save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
So Jesus take the wheel
Oh, take it
