Jesus, take the wheel

ade's a happy happy girl:) she finally bought carrie underwood's cd, Some Hearts. the speakers are blasting Jesus, take the wheel now.

have to hand it to carrie (macham talking as if she's my friend.. ). of all the songs in her album, she chose Jesus, take the wheel as her first single. is that a statement or what. when she sang this song on American Idol a few weeks back, and my dad heard her. and we heard the applause the audience had for her, which was not exactly thunderous, i really felt for her. dad says we must really pray that she is really a Christian and not a "christian" ( think britney spears), that God will keep her pure and use her mightily.

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 to 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 all 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 all 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
