She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati    On a snow white Christmas Eve    Goin' home to see her mama & 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       [Chorus:]    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"      [Chorus:]    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   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
