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

vocal First of all I'm not a Christian so I take a different perspective to the song. Very emotional like telling of a girl who now seeks faith on her journey all these flashbacks reminds her of the way...
I love the first line to the chorus...i mean the way her vocals do. Obviously the whole song was brilliant. Number 1 quality song

vocal this song is amazing. I was Carrie all the way on AI (American Idol) And love what she has done. Her and Bo Bice totally deserve getting as far as they did. This is my absolute favorite song along with Bo's "The Real Thing" and Rascal Flatt's "Skin". Hope you've heard those, too!

vocal I agree with Charizard. I think it's really great when Christian Secular artists are brave enough to put out a song that clearly states their faith. It takes alot of curage, and I really respect Carrie for that. I love this song! It really touches my heart, and encourages me to allow God to take control of my life.
