Description

This is the story of a young mother who lives a frenzied life. On a late-night drive on a snow-covered road in Cincinnati, Ohio, the woman begins taking a closer look at her life and wrestles with the hard truth that she's not really taking the time to follow her heart. Her car skids across a patch of black ice, and loses total control.

In her panic she holds her hands away from the steering wheel and cries out to Jesus. Subsequently, the car stops spinning and safely comes to rest on the road's shoulder. After looking at what has happened, and that both she and her baby are safe, the woman decides to let "Jesus take the Wheel" of her life.

Transcript

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 sooo 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
To 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
To 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
