Jesus Take the Wheel

I just LOVE this song. The first time I heard it I was just at a breaking point and it seems to be on the radio at just the right time for me these days. It totally reminds me that I just can't be a mom without His help...why do I even try? I'm so thankful for His reminders to come back to Him for help. I definitely need to be spending more time with God so I can function as a parent!!

Jesus Take The Wheel by Carrie Underwood
She was driving last Friday on her way to CincinnatiOn a snow white Christmas EveGoing home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseatFifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasolineIt would been a long hard yearShe had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attentionShe was going way to fastBefore she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glassShe saw both their lives flash before her eyesShe didn't even have time to cryShe was sooo scaredShe threw her hands up in the air

Jesus take the wheelTake it from my handsCause I can't do this all on my ownI'm letting goSo give me one more chanceTo save me from this road I'm onJesus take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulderAnd the car came to a stopShe cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rockAnd for the first time in a long timeShe bowed her head to prayShe said I'm sorry for the wayI've been living my lifeI know I've got to changeSo from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheelTake it from my handsCause I can't do this all my ownI'm letting goSo give me one more chanceTo save me from this road I'm onOh, Jesus take the wheelOh, I'm letting goSo give me one more chanceSave me from this road I'm onFrom this road I'm onJesus take the wheelOh, take it, take it from meOh, why, oh

I love that song too! The lyrics are touching and a much needed reminder that God is in control anyway...He just wants us to let go and surrender our "wheels" to Him. Thanks for the encouragement, Kendra!
Love, Marilee
