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 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 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
Save me from this road I'm on
Ooh, Jesus take the wheel, ooh, 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, ooh take it, take it from me
Ooh, ooh, wah ah, ooh, ooh, ooh
