Lyrics

[al:]
[00:22.360] She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
[00:26.140] On a snow white Christmas Eve
[00:29.750] Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
[00:34.419] Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
[00:41.900] It's been a long hard year
[00:44.419] She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
[00:47.689] She was going way to fast
[00:51.339] Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
[00:57.690] She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
[01:00.819] She didn't even have time to cry
[01:03.399] She was sooo scared
[01:06.909] She threw her hands up in the air
[01:11.209] Jesus take the wheel
[01:14.459] Take it from my hands
[01:17.619] Cause I can't do this all on my own
[01:23.890] I'm letting go
[01:25.658] So give me one more chance
[01:29.649] To save me from this road I'm on
[01:36.469] Jesus take the wheel
[01:50.378] It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
[01:54.990] And the car came to a stop
[01:56.929] She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
[02:03.790] And for the first time in a long time
[02:06.679] She bowed her head to pray
[02:09.949] She said I'm sorry for the way
[02:13.700] I've been living my life
[02:16.540] I know I've got to change
[02:19.280] So from now on tonight
[02:23.820] Jesus take the wheel
[02:27.800] Take it from my hands
[02:30.160] Cause I can't do this on my own
[02:35.430] I'm letting go
[02:38.300] So give me one more chance
[02:41.210] To save me from this road I'm on
[02:48.410] Oh, Jesus take the wheel
[03:01.900] Oh, I'm letting go
[03:05.800] So give me one more chance
[03:08.250] Save me from this road I'm on
[03:14.130] From this road I'm on
[03:20.740] Jesus take the wheel
[03:27.950] Oh, take it, take it from me
[03:33.530] Oh, why, oh
