Jesus Take the Wheel

I love watching the Americal Idol. Now on its fifth year, AI has captured the hearts and ears of millions of fans all across the globe. The competition gives dreamy-eyed crooners their chance of a lifetime to make it to Tinseltown Hollywood. Last year's winner was Cleveland-born country singer Carrie Underwood. She beat crowd-favorite Bo Bice in the final-two showdown. Now an established singer herself, Carrie has just released her first album entitled Some Hearts. In that album is the chart-topper for more than six weeks, Jesus Take the Wheel, which took America by surprise. Not everyone loves the song, as expected, but hey you can't deny that it's making waves across the mighty U.S. of A and abroad!

The song is truly a captivating song, heartfully rendered by the beautiful and gifted Carrie Underwood. Here is the lyrics to the song as well as the link to Carrie's personal website where selections from her album could be listened to:

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 would 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

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
