Jesus Take The Wheel

[Tazman]

I mainly listen to Country Western music because so much of it is based on life and its lessons, an awful lot of them have a spiritual message/theme. Do not get me wrong, I am thankful that there is more then one station in my area, because there are times I will change the station due to a certain song I find inapropiate, but I am just a good old boy and I God fearing Christian.

I wanted to share the lyrics of a hit playing now on CW stations.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD LYRICS

"Jesus Take The Wheel"

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's 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 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

Yes Taz. That's Carrie Underwood who won American Idol last season. She's a very beautiful young woman with a tremendous voice who sings country music and is starting it off by giving her first release a Christian theme. She an exceptional young lady.

What I like about the song is she calls upon Christ for one particular crisis, and once Christ has taken the wheel for her and saved her she realizes that her whole life is on the wrong road and she ask Christ to take the wheel for her whole life.
