Jesus Take The Wheel

Regardless whether these words sound cheesy or not, I have decided to post them on impulse. I was listening to Country 95.3 FM just now and this song came on and I cried. Now I know that it could be just because Carrie Underwood has such a beautiful, powerful voice, but I think it's more. I think it is my bottomless desire to live as God has created me to. To do His will above all else. Why, when this is beyond a shadow of doubt my most prominent desire, do I constantly struggle with surrendering all of me to Him?

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 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

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 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
